@UCATIPUG @salvationarmy During the webinar, the EA region affirmed: no woman, child or human being should ever be trafficked. The #EACtipBill is our shared commitment to dignity and justice.
Thank you to every speaker, partner and participant who made it possible. The work continues. #EndTrafficking

"What our forefathers endured through the transatlantic and Arab slave trades, we must say no to in its modern form. Harmonised regional law is how we protect our people." Amb. Lindsay Kiptiness #EACtipBill

On CSO perspective; reminded who this fight really belongs to
"Governments cannot fight trafficking alone. A survivor-centred, coordinated regional response needs faith communities, researchers and survivors at the table." Emmanuel Wataka, @salvationarmy #EACtipBill @UCATIPUG

[Willow is Everfree Uganda @EverFreeUg]

"To break the cycle, we must follow the money, target proceeds of crime and the financiers behind trafficking. Stop the money, stop the trade."
Basalirwa Kigenyi Derek, COPTIP Uganda #FollowTheMoney #EACtipBill @UCATIPUG @salvationarmy

[Willow is Everfree Uganda @EverFreeUg]

From Uganda's borders to the regional policy table, Derek has seen the cost of trafficking firsthand & built systems to stop it.

On why NOW is the right moment for this Bill 👇
"Timing is everything in legislation. Trafficking now commands national and international attention this #EACtipBill will gain more traction now than ever before." — Hon. Odongo George Stephen, #EALA

"Passing a regional law is elaborate, consultative and demanding — but momentum, evidence and partner-state consensus get it across the line. #EALA is ready to walk this journey." Hon. Odongo George Stephen #EACtipBill

[Willow is Everfree Uganda @EverFreeUg]

And on the role of civil society once the Bill passes
"We don't just need a good Bill passed we need watchdogs to ensure it's implemented, not shelved. Civil society's role runs from advocacy to oversight to capacity building." Hon. Amb. Fatuma Ndangiza on #EACtipBill

[Willow is Everfree Uganda @EverFreeUg]

She didn't just support the EAC Counter-Trafficking Bill.
She moved it.

"Combating trafficking is not a peripheral concern under Article 6 of the EAC Treaty, it's a treaty obligation of the highest order." Hon. Amb. Fatuma Ndangiza, EALA Women's Caucus Chair ,during the webinar yesterday. #EndTrafficking #EACtiPBill

[Willow is Everfree Uganda @EverFreeUg]

May this season be filled with joy, reflection, and moments that remind us of the power of compassion and community. Thank you for continuing to stand for freedom, dignity, and hope with us. #EidMubarak #FreedomAndHope #StrongerTogether

[Willow is Everfree Uganda @EverFreeUg]

Cultural rights ARE human rights.
The right to your language, identity, community, ancestral knowledge.
When these rights are protected, trafficking has less room to operate. On #WorldDay4CulturalDiversity, we stand for cultures, communities, and the dignity of every person.

[Willow is Everfree Uganda @EverFreeUg]

Thank you to everyone who ran, cheered, and gave. This is what community looks like.

Yesterday, the Willow Team joined @ABSAUganda's #AbsaKH37HillsRun showing up for girls whose access to education should never be a question.

[Willow is Everfree Uganda @EverFreeUg]

This run means more to us than miles logged.
@ABSAUganda has walked alongside Willow funding our Freedom First Institute, which equips survivors with skills and economic independence that last a lifetime.
That's the kind of partnership that changes trajectories. #AbsaKH37HillsRun
