Join us for a standing ovation 👏👏👏 to Sister Chebet Vicky, a senior nurse at Kortek HCIII for incredibly facilitating a session on #SGBV this afternoon during the school outreach at Kortek Girls Sec Sch!
It was thrilling to see the girls freely open up about personal and community #SGBV experience and the urgent need for linkage to reporting channels and safe spaces.
Indeed the #PtySportsGala24 is timely and we shall leave no stone unturned in challenging #SGBV💪

#WeAreYouthLed
Earlier this week, our youth advocates in Kalangala conducted a series of separate peer-led school outreaches in several schools, including Sserwanga Lwanga Memorial Secondary School, Kibanga Primary School, Bishop Dunstan Memorial Secondary School, Ssese Farm Institute, and Kibaale Primary School.
These sessions aimed to empower young people with essential sexual and reproductive health (SRH) knowledge and provide adolescent girls with skills in making reusable sanitary pads.
The topics covered during the outreaches included respect for girls’ rights and voices, seeking support and reporting sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), assertiveness, menstrual hygiene management (including proper use of menstrual products), personal hygiene, and the prevention of STIs and HIV among others.
Additionally, the sessions emphasized the importance of visiting health facilities for SRH services and information.

Last Friday we joined @eassigender under the @powertoyouthug program for the @EA_Bunge consultative meeting on re-tabling the EAC Anti-FGM Bill. The meeting brought together various stakeholders, including representatives from EALA, government dignitaries from multiple line ministries, civil society organizations (CSOs), and youth and community champions.
This is the first step in the renewed joint effort to fight FGM across East Africa. The meeting aimed to reflect on current anti-FGM efforts and collaborations, brainstorm strategies, and renew the commitment to ensuring the enactment of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) Anti-FGM Bill.
The EAC Anti-FGM Bill is a crucial step forward in the fight against Female Genital Mutilation. The bill tackles cross-border FGM, making it harder for perpetrators to evade.

🍿🎞️Movie time!!
"How would you react if your beb comes to check on you at your crib and you notice she got condoms in her bag"? Well, I guess there is more to a lady carrying condoms than we 🧔🏾Dudes think.
'Unexpected Drop' is one of our thrilling short films that you need to catch. In the middle of a busy street and rowdy boda boda stage, Nancy faces one of her toughest moments when condoms accidentally drop off her bag.

Happening now:
📍Butaleja District:
We have convened a Young Mother's Forum (YMF) at Nabiganda HCIV under our Youth Champions Challenging SRH stigma project to equip young mothers, pregnant teenagers, young fathers, and out-of-school adolescent girls with basic knowledge on safe motherhood and unintended pregnancy prevention.
The forum aims to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the baby during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. These practices help reduce maternal and infant mortality and morbidity. Key Safe Motherhood practices being shared include:
📎Antenatal Care (ANC) Visits
📎Nutrition
📎Birth Preparedness and Complication Readiness
📎Postnatal Care
📎Contraception Use and Family Planning
📎Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission
(PMTCT) of HIV
📎Immunization
📎Breastfeeding
Through the Young Mothers Forum, we will ensure healthier pregnancies and childbirth experiences for women, foster care, prevent unintended pregnancies, and improve the overall outcomes for both mothers and their babies.
