The National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) stands as a beacon of empowerment for women, fostering inclusivity and breaking barriers in traditionally male-dominated fields. NWSC’s commitment to gender equality is reflected in the substantial presence of skilled individuals and exemplified through initiatives that empower women in diverse sectors, from plumbing to leadership and legal roles.

Yesterday evening, NWSC’s female lawyers added a touch of grace to the Female Lawyers Network Distinguished Dinner hosted at Hotel Africana. The event, themed “Strategic Equality in Law,” highlighted the organization’s aim to foster a legal landscape where gender equality is strategically pursued and celebrated.

The First Deputy Prime Minister, Ms. Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga, served as the chief guest and offered valuable counsel to the attendees. She encouraged them to embrace resilience, nurture creativity, and never underestimate their potentials.
