Her belief in equality spurred her to challenge patriarchal institutions on all levels of society and governance, and her feminist ethos guided her life and cultivated strong sisterhoods in a wide range of diverse personal and professional spaces. We at the African Women\u2019s Development Fund have been privileged to know her as a friend, a sister and a colleague. She was one of a small handful of stalwarts who supported and shaped the early work of AWDF in various capacities as a key resource person. She was a leading light of the African Feminist Forum and the Ugandan Feminist Forum. We mourn her passing, yet are grateful and honoured to have known and worked with her. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her years of work in governance, law, and gender and development allowed her \u00a0to cultivate influence and change in spaces that were traditionally hard to reach. She used her work and her experience in the sector to promote transformation in every space she was found in, carving a niche for herself as a faculty member of the African Women\u2019s Leadership Institute.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stella, your loss is one we feel keenly.
