This paper interrogates the reality of gender backlash in Uganda by tracing the process of legislating on the 2019 Sexual Offences Bill (SOB). We trace the early beginnings of the Bill by highlighting the motivation that guided its framing, the role of individual actors and alliances in pushing for the gender equity reform, and the oppositional forces against the reform.
