It is our collective responsibility to end all forms of violence, particularly Gender-Based Violence (GBV). Our recent stakeholder engagement brought together key actors who are committed to accountability and action in our interventions. We need more voices to stand with us in the fight against #GBV. The participation of Local Council and Uganda Police representatives from Rubaga Division gives us hope that, when united, we can #eliminate #violenceAgainstWomenandGirls. Silence allows these harmful acts to persist. If you witness or experience GBV, don't hesitate—report it. Support is available, and together, we can prevent the loss of more lives to fear, depression, or worse. Let’s break the silence and put an end to violence. #SpotlightInitiative #EndGBV #StopViolence #BreakTheSilence

Deeply saddened by the brutal loss of Rebecca #Cheptegei, whose life was tragically taken by her ex-boyfriend. This senseless act is a painful reminder of the urgent need to end gender-based violence in our communities. At AWYAD, we have dedicated ourselves since 2010 to fighting all forms of violence against women and girls through our advocacy, awareness campaigns, and community-based interventions. Our work under initiatives like the #SpotlightInitiative strengthens our resolve to ensure #justice, #safety, and #empowerment for all. Let Rebecca’s story fuel our fight to create a future where no one has to face such #violence. Rest in power, Rebecca. #EndGBV #JusticeForRebecca #StopViolence
