Itโs not a family matter!
Treating gender-based violence as a "family matter" protects the abuser. It leaves perpetrators free to strike again; it means victims get no justice and survivors are left with lifelong burden of trauma and pain.

We thank the team of @UHRC_UGANDA represented by Ag. Chairperson Lamex Omara for a valuable engagement on their vital work in regular reporting, hearing complaints as a tribunal and inspecting places of detention. #HumanRights must remain central to #justice and accountability.
No justice without evidence๐ฌ๐
#Forensic police services are central to effective #SGBV response. Without adequate capacity & equipment, critical evidence can be lost and timelines delayed, shaping the outcomes survivors receive. Thatโs why we partner with @PoliceUg & UNWomen.
We were delighted to welcome our Governance Expert Johannes Binder, who leads ADAโs global governance portfolio, to our office. His training on applying the Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) in the water and sanitation sector provided valuable insights for our partners. ๐ง
