Sadly, there are reports from of an increase in domestic violence since the #COVID19 outbreak began. We call on countries to include services to #EndViolence as an essential service that must continue during the response. There is never any excuse for violence.

I have never reported a crime to the police with the hope to get it resolved...mostly it is to get the required police letter to access other services
Now we are here shouting about reporting...to be further victimised by the criminal justice system....
It has been a pleasure to work with my sister @JaneRuth_Aceng and the @MinofHealthUG Our partnership is strong and we can go further together. Thank you!
In the good ol days, the fireplace was a safe space for deep conversation, and learning. This evening, we are lighting a bonfire against marrying girls before the age of 18.
