As Uganda celebrates International Women's Day, land rights groups working with the Stand for Her Land Campaign want the government to pass better laws that help women access and control land.
Women face many barriers when trying to manage land because of unfair cultural beliefs, complicated ownership rules, not enough money for fair land services, an expensive court system, and corrupt land officials who make things harder through unnecessary paperwork.
Studies show when women have secure land rights, good things happen for everyone. Families earn more money, children eat better food, women make more decisions, less violence happens against women, farms produce more crops, and the economy grows stronger.

Police locked up six leaders from the Forum for Democratic Change party in Soroti on Friday. They grabbed FDC president Patrick Oboi Amuriat during a protest about cattle compensation for people living in the Teso area. The cops charged them with meeting illegally, causing trouble in public, and hitting officers.
The FDC quickly responded on social media, naming everyone who got arrested and demanding they all be freed immediately. In addition to Amuriat, police took Hon. Alobo Joan, Hon. Jonathan Ebwalu, Isaac Asaku, who leads the FDC in Soroti City West, Mary Goretti Atemo, who wants to become Kumi's Woman MP, and Sam Acaitum.
These protesters marched under the message "No Cow – No Vote" starting from FDC offices in Akisim Cell 2...
Cardiff City will play without Andy Rinomhota this weekend because he hurt his hamstring during their 2-1 loss against Burnley a few days ago. The injury happened mid-game, forcing him to leave the field.
Coach Omer Riza told reporters about the situation plainly: "Andy came off with a tight hamstring, so he probably won't be involved." This creates a gap in their lineup since Rinomhota became an important player after Riza replaced former coach Erol Bulut earlier in the season.
Rinomhota has shown his value by successfully playing right back, even though that isn't his natural position. His absence comes at a tricky time for Cardiff City, which currently stands just above the relegation zone in the Championship standings.
They have...
FIFA is ready to ban Zambia from international soccer because the government has tried to control how soccer is played in the country.
The problem started when Zambia's National Sports Council asked FIFA to create a special committee, set up an independent election group, and check how the Football Association of Zambia handles its elections.
FIFA sent a letter telling Zambia they can't do that. They made it clear that every member country must run its soccer programs without outside pressure, especially from governments. If Zambia creates this committee, FIFA said they'd have to take action, which probably means suspending Zambia.
The current situation has caused lots of drama leading up to Zambia's soccer elections planned for...

The French Professional Football League suspended Lyon coach Paulo Fonseca for nine months. They punished him after he confronted referee Benoit Millot during Lyon's recent 2-1 win against Brest in Ligue 1.
