@mifumiproject @GenderHeroes @NLinUganda @usmissionuganda @NorwayUganda @DKinUganda @UNICEFUganda @SwedeninUG @Amref_Uganda @CordaidUganda It seems just impossible to end SGBV without tackling economic challenges our girls and women face. Economic empowerment is an integral part of gender transformation. Well done @mifumiproject @GenderHeroes

[Immaculate Akello @ImmaculateAkel7]

@mifumiproject @GenderHeroes @NLinUganda @BelgiumInUganda @SwedeninUG @NorwayUganda @usmissionuganda @UNICEFUganda @UNFPAUganda It was great seeing girls and women showcasing their knowledge, skills, abilities and enjoying their safe space.

@GenderHeroes @NLinUganda @usmissionuganda @NorwayUganda @DKinUganda @UNICEFUganda @SwedeninUG @Amref_Uganda @CordaidUganda At #MIFUMI, we believe that our advice center, skill-building initiatives, and guiding teenage mothers back to education are not just interventions but vital pathways to empowerment and transformation.

[MIFUMI @mifumiproject]

Here, the team got to interact with survivors who've been empowered through skilling, and some of the teenage mothers who've received support to return to school.

[MIFUMI @mifumiproject]

@GenderHeroes @NLinUganda @usmissionuganda @NorwayUganda @DKinUganda @UNICEFUganda @SwedeninUG @Amref_Uganda @CordaidUganda @Cordaid By providing a supportive space & practical tools, we are fostering resilience and equipping women with the skills they need to navigate life's challenges. This commitment is our cornerstone in creating a brighter, more empowered future for the women and teenage mothers we serve.
