we are deeply concerned about the rising trend of miraa (khat) consumption among young women in Uganda. Traditionally associated with men, especially boda boda riders, truck drivers, and casual laborers, miraa chewing has now become common among university students, young professionals, and unemployed women, posing a serious risk to their health and well-being. Many young women turn to miraa due to peer influence, stress, long study or work hours, and social pressures. Some perceive it as a harmless way to stay alert, suppress appetite, or relieve anxiety. However, miraa use has severe long-term consequences, including addiction, mood swings, insomnia, oral health problems, and digestive issues. Research also links prolonged use to reproductive health complications, such as hormonal imbalances and reduced fertility, which pose serious concerns for young women.
