Empowering women in livestock: addressing gender barriers in Uganda’s pig sector

Livestock is a key sector in Uganda, contributing approximately 4.3% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). Nearly 60% of households depend on livestock for their livelihoods, with women and youth playing crucial roles in livestock production. However, restrictive social and gender norms limit their ability to fully benefit from business and economic opportunities in the sector. To address barriers in the pig-sector, gender researchers from the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) implemented targeted interventions aimed at transforming gender norms and enhancing the participation and benefits of women and youth in Uganda’s pig enterprises.
