She specializes in intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention and women's rights advocacy.

Mirembe holds master's degrees in Peacebuilding and Gender and Development, as well as a Bachelor’s Degree in Law. She is also a published researcher, having contributed to studies on IPV, including co-authoring the article "Intersectionalities of formality of marital status and women's risk and protective factors for intimate partner violence in Rwanda," which examines how marital status influences women's access to rights and their vulnerability to IPV.
