</li></ul>
<h2 id="w_achievements">Achievements<br /></h2>
<p>Since its inception in 1996, FEMRITE has published nine books of poetry and short stories by its members. It also publishes New Era, a quarterly publication whose sections include Children's World, Culture, Gender Wars, Growing Up, Parenting, and Relationships. In partnership with the Alliance Française, Femrite has also published the first Directory of Ugandan Writers, which includes biographical data, pictures, and short extracts from Uganda's creative writers, living and dead, including those born or living elsewhere. 
</p><p>Femrite's programs include: a Women's Resource Centre and a Readers and Writers Club. The Resource Centre accepts book and magazine donations and is a safe place where women writers can work. At the Readers/Writers Club, new and established writers meet every Monday night to read and discuss their work, giving and receiving comments, criticisms, and encouragement. Both these programs are so much in demand that FEMRITE is already faced with the challenge of finding a more ample space to accommodate all who are interested.<br />
