Breaking Down Barriers for Women
"The journey to equality for Ugandan women is fraught with challenges, including deeply ingrained societal norms that favor male leadership and unequal access to opportunities.

She seeks to serve a purpose of women’s social economic transformation and mindset change.
Kobusingye also seeks to continue mentoring and empowering women into entrepreneurship and political careers, areas that have always been dominated by men counterparts.

"I am passionate about mentoring and empowering young women entrepreneurs through inspiring mindset change and informed decision making. I am also very passionate about community transformation, leadership and fighting poverty," she adds.
Kobusingye says her passion for mentoring and empowering young women entrepreneurs is evident in her work, adding that she believes in inspiring mindset change and informed decision-making to drive women's progress.
"With my extensive experience and dedication, I am well-positioned to lead the NRM Women's League and drive meaningful change for Ugandan women."
