KAMPALA, UGANDA — Gertrude Arineitwe spreads out her green polythene bag at the charcoal shelter. The charcoal seller, a woman from whom Arineitwe has bought charcoal for the past four years and who has become a friend, empties a spadeful of charcoal into the bag. Black dust wafts in the air. Soot-colored pieces fall into the bag, clanging as they land. Arineitwe watches, waiting for the seller to add more. But she doesn’t. She’s done — and the bag is only half full.

I like to believe that the belief that the woman is the one who should be in charge of children is beginning to die down in some places. In addition to alleviating some of the burden — real and symbolic — on mothers, it opens the door for men to be more responsible — to fulfill our role as fathers, let's say. Navigating the demands of early parenthood Lorenzo, our oldest son (five years old), is doing well at the moment.

Kampala, Uganda — "The gospel that is being preached on the pulpit these days is just meant to insult and belittle us," says a Ugandan churchgoer. Moses has been on the run. "Wherever I go, I am witch-hunted after people discovered that I am a homosexual," he says, his voice trembling. Moses, who identifies as gay and chose to use only his first name for fear of retribution, had managed to keep his sexuality a secret for a long time.

Birabwa Hajara’s braids are long enough to reach her hips if she let them down. But she doesn’t. “Some jobs limit our freedom of expression. A driver cannot let her long hair loose. It will be prickly,” she says. Instead, she ties the braids into a knot above her head, a style whose shape has earned it the local nickname “doughnut.” It’s 5am, still a little dark, and the 42-year-old is already up and about on her first job as a school driver.

Kampala, Uganda — Low pay, sexual harassment and job instability haven't stopped women from pursuing opportunities in the male-dominated public transport sector. Birabwa Hajara's braids are long enough to reach her hips if she let them down. But she doesn't. "Some jobs limit our freedom of expression. A driver cannot let her long hair loose. It will be prickly," she says.
