Provide Support to GBV Victims in Uganda

STANDING UP FOR THE UNHEARD VOICES AMIDST COVID-19

Amidst the fight to end the widespread of COVID-19 through lockdowns and restrictions of people, the movement has not only led to massive destruction of livelihoods but also affected the attaining of the SDGs by 2030 as most of the resources have been diverted to the struggle. To the dismay, many voices, especially the women and children who have been potential victims of Gender-Based Violence cases in rural and semi-urban communities have remained unheard as the outcry is falling on deaf ears. The creating awareness against gender-based violence against women, children, and men in rural and semi-urban communities aims at combating GBV. Gender-based violence (GBV) is a critical issue that according to the United Nations affects 1 in 3 women. GBV is disproportionately affecting underprivileged women, especially in rural areas and semi-urban communities.  


With that said, the general objective of this campaign is to raise awareness about the existence of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in communities as a way to advocate for fair treatment of victims and law action to the perpetrators. The overall goal is that over time the community will experience fewer cases of GBV and awareness will rise against this vise. We will be working in the Mayuge District within a period of 3 months and aim at having 50 direct beneficiaries.


Through educational initiatives, the project will bring awareness about GBV to communities who need it most. In these difficult times, funding is an issue and any donations are appreciated.
