Northern Uganda’s sensational actress, TikToker, journalist, businesswoman, rights activist, and singer Lamaro Isabella has called on men across the entire Acholi sub-region to use this year’s International Women’s Day celebrations as an opportunity to commit themselves to marriage.

The outspoken entertainer, popularly known as Bella, made the remarks on Saturday, March 7, while releasing her latest song titled “Pe ki bi nyomi” under Rock Star Edutainment Africa.

In her message, Bella questioned why many hardworking women in family settings are often not appreciated, valued, respected, or married as tradition and culture demand.

Her new song, “Pe ki bi nyomi,” loosely translated as “You won’t be taken into marriage as a wife,” reflects the declining cultural values in which, she says, many men take women for granted and avoid formalizing relationships through marriage.

According to Bella, many women continue to work tirelessly to support their families, only to be neglected by men who misuse family resources.

However in an interview she was quick to caution fellow women to balance rights and roles too

Bella warned that heavy drinking, recklessness, and failure to value women have gradually eroded the foundation of love and stability in the Acoli sub-region, an area once known for peaceful and united families.

Through her music and public voice, the multi-talented entertainer says she hopes to spark conversations about responsibility, respect for women, and the restoration of cultural values in homes as well as justices for women.

International Women’s Day 2026, under the theme, “Rights. Justice. Action. For all Women and Girls”, calls for action to dismantle all barriers to equal justice:
