Who We Are

Bride price traps women in relationships that they cant get out from

MIFUMI is an international non-government women’s rights organisation based in Uganda. MIFUMI’s work revolves around protection of women and children experiencing violence and other forms of abuse. MIFUMI believes that if women are empowered they can rise above many of the cultural traditions that hold them back, such as Bride Price. If women are to realise their full potential, they can become the greatest contributors to development.
