ARUWE Uganda

This evening I joined partners from NGOs (ARUWE), MGLSD(SAUTI), MoH, & the Fourth Estate at CBS to raise our voice against GBV targeting children this holiday. Parents, let’s be present;our children are God-given treasures. Give them time, care, and a safe, friendly environment.

That’s why we walk the journey with them, providing start-up kits, mentorship, and linkages to financing. For some, this leads to employment. For others, it sparks the beginning of a small business.

We’ve seen the transformation up close. A young woman walks into a training unsure of herself, learns a practical skill, and begins to see new possibilities for her life. But training alone isn’t enough. #SkillingForEmployment #WomenEmpowerment #EconomicInclusion #SelfReliance

Consent must be freely given, informed, and enthusiastic. It cannot be obtained when someone is under pressure, afraid, unconscious, intoxicated, or unable to make a clear decision. #SAAM #EndSexualViolence

Sexual assault is any unwanted sexual act or behavior carried out without a person’s consent. It can include rape, attempted rape, unwanted touching, sexual harassment, or forcing someone to engage in sexual acts through intimidation, threats, manipulation, or coercion.

Throughout March, we’ve been engaging communities in Wakiso through GBV awareness activities focused on strengthening access to justice for women and girls. Community members are receiving vital information on prevention and response alongside free legal consultations. #IWD26

Today, we celebrate the strength, leadership, and resilience of women and girls in our communities. At ARUWE, we remain committed to advancing women’s rights, strengthening access to justice, and driving community action to close the gender gap. #IWD2026 #RightsJusticeAction
