Day 3 of the #AwidCSW70UgandaHub is about taking the conversation beyond conference rooms Today, we visited to Katanga Slum to sit with women and girls and listen to their lived realities and shared all valuable opportunities and services that women can get through conversations and knowledge sharing to our understanding the government has failed to reach its people who are suffering from mental health issues, luck of water, food, sanitary supplies and other issues which has made women vulnerable @CentreforWomen2 @SRHRAllianceUg @Uganetlaw @AWID #GenderAndHealthJustice

Today marks the final day of the @AWID CSW70 Uganda Hub, where we are engaging the media in a press chat to highlight key issues raised during the convening 1: digital violence to menstrual health and justice with dignity the conversation continues 2:Women in Uganda mostly marginalised women continue to face digital violence, structural barriers to justice, and stigma around menstrual health. These are not isolated challenges they are systemic issues that demand policy attention and accountability Thank you @CentreforWomen2 @AGYHRD1

CSW70 ends on March 19th this year and it has been more than a privilege this past week to host the first of its kind CSW Ugandan Hub. @CentreforWomen2 in partnership with @AWID believe that the deliberations at the global level don't have to stay there! Here's a sneak peek.🤗😉

DAY 1 [10th March] The digital world is fast evolving and so are the loopholes that harbour abuse. This form of invisible violence has taken up several shapes and continues to harm users both online and offline. The discussions revolved around how TfGBV can be stopped.📌

DAY 2 [11th March] "The first step in saving our liberty is realising how much we lost, how we lost it and how we continue to until policy changes occur". The sisterhood sat down to dissect policy change, mindset shifts, resolutions for progress and what needs to change.📌

DAY 3[12th March] All women; single mothers, HIV positive women, grassroot as well as community women deserve to be heard. INCLUSION📌. The women of Katanga slum were no exception! Better medical & menstrual services, sanitation, safe water, justice, GBV prevention & dignity!

DAY 4[13th March] Grand Finale📌 For 3 days, CSO representatives have shared ideas, resolutions, grievances and concerns on the various issues affecting women and girls in Uganda. Today we share those action points with the media, "GIVING TO GAIN" & and fighting for change.

"Let's decentralise CSW! Let all women be part of the decisin making process that affects them too. Inclusion matters!" ANYWAY, FIT CHECK FOR THE 4 DAYS OF UGANDA CSW Hub😊🤭

📌 Addressing violence requires legal protection, community awareness, and strong systems that hold perpetrators accountable. #CentreforWomenJusticeUganda
