On 14th November 2025, we received the long-awaited judgment in Constitutional Petitions No. 25 of 2020 and No. 10 of 2017, challenging the Stateβs omission to formulate and enact a law regulating the termination of pregnancy in Uganda, in line with Articles 22(2) and 79(1) and (2) of the 1995 Constitution. This judgment follows an extensive litigation journey that began in 2017, marked by multiple hearings, reconstituted panels of Justices, and repeated adjournments for judgment on notice.
Its issuance represents a significant moment in the ongoing struggle for clarity, constitutional compliance, and protection of reproductive rights in Uganda.
