Nearly 1 in 3 women across the world roughly 840 million have faced physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. What’s even more alarming? This reality has remained largely unchanged for over two decades.
This cannot be normalized.

As the festive season approaches, let it also renew our resolve to stand against gender-based violence and protect the dignity and safety of all.

As we get into the festive season, the #16DaysofActivismUG may be behind us but our commitment and responsibility remain.
We must be vigilant, keep speaking out, standing with survivors, challenging harmful norms, and demanding accountability.
As we crown #16DaysOfActivismUG, let us remember that silencing 🚺online has consequences beyond the screen. It limits access to health information, increases vulnerability, & undermines progress against #HIV.

She reminds listeners that violence grows in silence.
When we see abuse and say nothing,we enable it.
Speaking up is the first step to ending it.

Children who flee violence often end up on the streets, exposed to further abuse. @EstherDhafa calls for urgent protection of every child.
GBV thrives in silence, and she emphasized the importance of breaking that silence and creating safer reporting spaces.

A radio discussion on 88.7 Ateker Moroto FM marked the close of the #16DaysOfActivismUG with a focus on the role of leaders and communities in ending violence.
Speakers noted that while Uganda has made significant strides in strengthening laws, policies, and programmes to address gender-based violence, incidents remain alarmingly high, particularly in Moroto and across the Karamoja and Teso regions.
The broadcast aimed to raise awareness about the persistence of GBV, encourage prevention at all levels, and highlight the importance of ensuring survivors can access justice.

A community is only as strong as how it treats its women and girls.
Today we were reminded that cultural leadership must be used to guide,protect and champion equality.
This is how we build safer futures.
#16DaysOfActivismUG
Culture should never justify harm.
It should inspire protection,unity, and dignity.
Safeguarding women and girls is not a modern idea it’s a cultural value that has anchored African communities for generations.
