Patience Muwanguzi is a Ugandan lawyer and human rights advocate with experience at the intersection of law, digital rights, civic space, and access to justice. Her work focuses on how legal systems, technology, and state power affect marginalised communities, including LGBTI persons, particularly in restrictive political environments.

She has worked on human rights litigation, legal research, and advocacy relating to freedom of association, digital safety, and the protection of lawyers, activists, and vulnerable communities. Patience has contributed to national and international research initiatives, including collaborative work with Lawyers for Lawyers (Netherlands), and has engaged with United Nations human rights mechanisms on issues affecting civic space, legal defence work, and the protection of LGBTI-related advocacy.

She has supported LGBTI organisations and individuals through legal representation, strategic litigation, and community-based advocacy, including work on access to justice, safety, and digital security. Her experience also includes conducting digital rights awareness and safety trainings for activists and community members, with a focus on understanding digital risks, surveillance, and the use of digital evidence.

Patience brings a practical, Global South–grounded perspective shaped by lived experience, legal practice, and engagement with communities. Her work is driven by a commitment to inclusive, people-centered approaches to digital rights, justice, and resilience.
