Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The deputy chairperson for the National Cultural Forum (NCF), an umbrella body for about 67 Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) associations representing over 386,000 people has appealed to line ministries like that of gender to ensure that laws regulating the sector are amended.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to Mr Charles Batambuze, the laws regulating the sector are ancient and that they do not address current problems faced by mostly women.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe national laws concerning the arts have not taken into account issues of women. For example, the Uganda National Cultural Centre Act is of 1959. There\u2019s also Stage Play and Public Entertainment Act, 194; way back before the women emancipation movement. So, those laws really favor men,\u201d Mr Batambuze said on the sidelines of a behind the scenes research engagement aimed at ending marginalization of female creatives held in Kampala and organized by the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW)<\/p>\n

ICRW, a US-based non-profit organisation with offices in India, Kenya, and Uganda aims its work at promotion of gender equity, inclusion and shared prosperity within the field of international development.<\/p>\n

According to Mr Batambuze, women access to business opportunities in the creatives sector has been frustrated.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s against this background that Uganda is among seven African countries selected for a three-year MasterCard foundation-powered comprehensive research project on disseminating evidence based solutions on issues negatively impacting women creatives.<\/p>\n

Other countries are Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, Senegal, and Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Gender Ministry Commissioner for culture and family affairs, Ms Juliana Naumo said that the lack of enough research data in the billion dollar Africa creative industry has led to loss of revenue for governments and marginalisation of some sector actors.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the biggest challenges at national level is absence of evidence based data. The current mapping we have was done in 2014, we are now in 2024, so many years back. So we believe that with scientifically proven evidence, we shall be able to justify the contribution of female young artists to the economy to be able to lobby for financing and the status of artists in all ways.\u201d Said Ms. Naumo<\/p>\n
