As individuals, we have the power to make change and heal ourselves and those around us. However, when we come together, our power as feminists, activists and communities of care becomes stronger, more holistic and effective in healing one another, and building better communities.

Community building and sustaining requires intentionality. How do you maintain your communities? And how do you care for one another?

#Care

Our story Established in 2003 in Kampala, Uganda, we are a vibrant network of activists, organizations and friends working to prevent violence against women (VAW), united in our mission to create a safer world ...

By using the terminology of ‘violence against women’ the Network can be more certain that others will more immediately and easily understand our mission and work.”

#EndVAWG

“The term GBV is very challenging to translate into most local languages in our region. Awkward, complicated and long translations create unnecessary barriers to understanding, interest and involvement in the issue.-

On this day, we join hands with people all over the world to call for an end to all discrimination, everywhere.

Discrimination can be based on gender, sex, disability, religion or race etc, and it is the unjust / biased treatment of someone or groups of people based on prejudice. Facing discrimination in any space can affect your wellbeing, and impact your ability to fully engage in that space.

Good news! Violence against women and girls can be prevented, and dismantled within our communities.

A whole community approach, understanding the patriarchy and the resulting power imbalance it causes, education at all levels, & strengthening the power of women & girls are some key examples of how

It is important to trust the leadership, experience and vision of young people as we all work to build a violence-free world for everyone.

Meaningful youth engagements in our movements can look like many things. It can also look like trusting young people, especially young women and girls, with leading movements that advocate for change in their communities and societies.

Self care cannot happen without collective care.

#EndVAWG
#PreventVAWG

Care is more than a single activity. It is a continuous process of engagement within yourself, your communities/ groups and in your movements. Self and collective care are linked so closely that one aspect of care is strengthened by the other. Self care cannot happen without collective care.
