"Many think violence is just physical. They forget violence manifests in different ways. It could be psychological, sexual or economical." ~ Spencer Murray, @MenStopViolence #16Days #OffTheSidelines

Apili Nelly Advocate from She Leads asked @Educ_SportsUg How would girls who are differently abled access digital services? They don’t have interpreters when it comes to online classes, in most cases they are always left out. #Sheleadsug #GYWAndDigitalization

Even though most School going to children especially in rural areas are not able to access gadgets such as radios, computers &smartphones among others , the @Educ_SportsUg has worked to make these learning materials available on digital and offline platforms #GYWAndDigitalization

Girls need to be given opportunities to speak directly about the issues and challenges that they face while suggesting appropriate solutions to mitigate them ! #GYWAndDigitalization #SheLeadsUg

Digital education for all should be introduced at all levels. This will help break the gender gap in ICT “they say ICT is for boys that’s why I dropped it in senior one” Habene Betty #Sheleadugs #GYWAndDigitalization

“As stakeholders, our role is to address the entire eco system in regard to our cultural norms” -Mondi Kyateeka The local system that we operate hinders the participation of young girls and women #SheLeadug
