TACKLING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS
Over a lifetime, one in three women will experience physical or sexual violence — regardless of age, background or country. The violence occurs in public and private and affects both the woman and her community. Overwhelmingly committed by men against women, sexual violence can take many forms, including rape, domestic violence, harassment and objectification, “honor” killings, sex trafficking, female genital mutilation, “child marriage” and other harmful practices.
“There is one universal truth, applicable to all countries, cultures and communities: violence against women is never acceptable, never excusable, never tolerable.”
-BAN KI-MOON, UN SECRETARY-GENERAL (2007-2016)
We intend to tackle this issues by using a human rights-based approach/method, we will participate more in changing attitudes and behaviours of communities towards supporting women enjoy and assert their full rights in their own capacity.
Ending gender-based violence is everyone’s responsibility
Worldwide, an estimated one in three women will be physically or sexually abused in her lifetime. The last Ugandan Demographic Health Survey shows that 56 per cent of women age 15 to 29 have experienced physical violence since the age of 15, and 28 per cent of women have experienced sexual violence in their lifetime. That means that more than half of Ugandan women – mother, wives, sisters, and daughters – do not feel safe because they have been abused at home, at school, or at work.
Many women and girls suffer in silence, both physically and emotionally, as social forces such as extreme poverty, impaired access to employment and education, divorce restrictions, land grabbing after the death of a husband, and legal marginalisation serve to limit their access to solutions to their problems.
This situation is unacceptable. If we are dedicated to protecting the rights of everyone, we all need to do more to reverse such trends. We must do more not just to improve the health and safety of individual girls and women, but also to ensure Uganda’s future success and prosperity. Gender-based violence doesn’t only violate girls’ and women’s human rights; it robs society and the world of their talents, knowledge, and ability to contribute.
As a child, I was fortunate to have had parents and teachers in my life who provided opportunities that allowed me to reach my potential. As a mother today, I want the same thing for all of my children, especially my daughter.
By working together to end gender-based violence, we can give all girls the chance to succeed. We won’t solve the problem by simply making this a “women’s issue,” which often becomes code for doing little more than talking about the issue with few resources attached. Stopping gender-based violence is and must be an issue for everyone, men and boys included.
Whether you are a parent, a teacher, a brother, or a friend, I urge you to invest in Uganda’s next generation by supporting girls’ and women’s education and taking a stand against gender-based violence – not just today, but every day. Respecting these fundamental rights will lead to a more peaceful, healthy, and prosperous future not just for girls and women, but for everyone.
Briquettes Making
Wood fuel has been used extensively in Uganda for domestic and commercial use resulting in massive deforestation. Women have suffered using firewood as a cooking fuel resulting in eye infections and chest infections. Innovative Youth with Action Uganda has a solution for this; Our carbonized charcoal briquettes are used as an alternative to wood charcoal for cooking and heating. The person cooking just picks a few pieces, places them in the flying cooking stove, lights fire and once the briquettes catch fire, they are ready for cooking. They are smokeless and burn for longer hours compared to wood charcoal.
