dc.description.abstract	Most women in Uganda with an advanced degree in physics find employment at a university, teaching and conducting research. Very few take jobs in by industry or at government research laboratories. This paper discusses the trends in Uganda in women’s participation in the field of physics and their status. The paper also highlights factors that hinder girls from pursuing the study of physics and describes interventions the government is initiating to alleviate the situation.	en_US
