#MustRead "Rather than arguing for greater understanding of the complexity of survivor needs, survivor activists & other civil society representatives focus instead on voicing d more structural need for a survivor-centred approach to SV in order to involve survivors as agents.."

The journey towards ensuring gender equality and equity must continue beyond #16DaysOfActivism

[Aciro Rita @RitaAciro]

Whatever it is, you have to keep going. It is part of the process. Win that battle alone and you will be proud.

Blessed Sunday. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

A few days ago, a man gave his married wife two hours to leave her job and come back home to take care of children. Yet all his support went to another woman newly got.

Just thinking about endless efforts being made this #16DaysOfActivism

[Oyella Alba Olweny @OlwenyAlba]

While the 16days of activism campaign is at it's peak across communities, some homes still remained centers of intimate partner violence and sexual violence against women and girls. This must stop as it fuels other forms of violence.

Our responsibility.

[Oyella Alba Olweny @OlwenyAlba]

@refugeelawproj Kiryandongo today engaged the different community leaders in dialoque on existing barriers in ensuring uptake and access to sexual Reproductive Health Rights services. Also deliberately ensuring prevention of gender based violence in communities.
