[BALIRAINE HAKIM @BALIRAINEH]

@ESAFFUG It is a great pleasure being part of this discussion. I congratulate the small-scale women farmers for leading this campaign. As we end this discussion, remember that 1 in 3 of women worldwide have been subjected to different forms of violence by people they know or even trust.

[BALIRAINE HAKIM @BALIRAINEH]

@ESAFFUG At @ESAFFUG @EsaffHQ, we are committed to ending violence against women because we know it’s impact to food sovereignty in our country and region. Thank you to everyone who has participated and I challenge each of you to #EndViolenceAgainstWomen.

@ESAFFUG @LukwiyaVicky @NabwamiESAFF This lady is both physical and emotional exploited. This kind of violence increased with the current #COVID19 pandemic, which has brought many families together revealing habits that were not known by their partners.

@ESAFFUG @LukwiyaVicky @NabwamiESAFF In my village, Kalukwesi-Mgbonjo Cell, Adjumani, I know of a young woman in a marriage which is like a prison, the husband doesn’t allow her to host any guests at home. And because she is working, he expects her to take care of all the needs at home.

@ESAFFUG This Twitter Chat on #WomenVoicesAgainstGBV is part of our campaign on #16Days #OrangeTheWorld. GBV is another pandemic that we must stop.
At @ESAFFUG @EsaffHQ, we understand its impact on food sovereignty that’s why we are committed to ending violence against women at all cost

[BALIRAINE HAKIM @BALIRAINEH]

@ESAFFUG This is such a great honour. This is our first Twitter it’s good having small-scale women farmers leading this discussion. @WHO estimates that about 1 in 3 of women globally have been subjected to either physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime.

AD: Join @ESAFFUG for a live Twitter chat as small-scale women farmers share experiences of GBV and ideas on how to cease it.

[Masudio Margaret @Masudio_M]

@ESAFFUG @LukwiyaVicky @NabwamiESAFF Violence against women has blocked us from actively participating in leadership even at the lowest level and it makes us not to be respected. Deep in the village there are some people who still believe that we are their property.

@ESAFFUG @Nancy_Mugimba @LukwiyaVicky @NabwamiESAFF If we want to achieve food security in this nation and also achieve the #SDG, we must eliminate violence against women and girls.

[Masudio Margaret @Masudio_M]

@ESAFFUG @Nancy_Mugimba @LukwiyaVicky @NabwamiESAFF Like @BALIRAINEH said in his opening remarks, can you imagine that globally about 1 in 3 of women have been subjected to either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime. This must stop.

#WomenVoicesAgainst

[Nabwami Christine @NabwamiESAFF]

@ESAFFUG @Masudio_M @LukwiyaVicky Just as we have shared on the previous question, violence against women and girls has a great impact on the emotional and mental health of a woman. If you have never experienced it, you can’t understand this. We must invest in eliminating it at all costs.

#WomenVoicesAgainstGBV

[Masudio Margaret @Masudio_M]

@ESAFFUG @LukwiyaVicky @NabwamiESAFF @GovUganda and development partners should create more Gender Based Violence (#GBV) Shelters in our communities like those by @uwonet and @actionaiduganda. These are safe spaces for women and girls.

[Nabwami Christine @NabwamiESAFF]

@ESAFFUG @Masudio_M @LukwiyaVicky Stakeholders need to create more awareness on #GBV, I can assure you that apart from physical violence, most women in my community are facing other forms of violence but they don’t know that they are being violented.

[Masudio Margaret @Masudio_M]

@ESAFFUG @LukwiyaVicky @NabwamiESAFF I think we also need to create more male champions like @FomeUganda. Some men fear being identified as feminist even when they are. We need you to be champions and talk to those men who think otherwise.

[Masudio Margaret @Masudio_M]

@ESAFFUG @LukwiyaVicky @NabwamiESAFF Cultural leaders should lead the campaign to #EndViolenceAgainstWomen by publicly denouncing norms that discriminate or abuse women and create strong structures that support women rights.
