Digital violence produces tangible harm. Harassment, doxxing, deepfakes and non-consensual image abuse require effective legal, regulatory and institutional safeguards. #16DaysOfActivism

Violence ends when societies refuse to look away and choose to stand up. Yesterday male champions, female Heads of Missions, students and changemakers marched at @Makerere University for the #16Days – Strides for Change march against #digitalviolence targeting women and girls.

Joint monitoring with @JudiciaryUG to Sembabule Magistrate's & Masaka High Courts was a success. The Justice for Her project—supported by @ADCinUganda—continues to enhance fast-track mechanisms for GBV cases. The insights will guide stronger, survivor-centred justice delivery.

“We strive for true gender equality. Harmful norms like accepting violence at home or keeping girls from school while boys pursue an education must end. Otherwise, ten years from now, we’ll see educated, successful men while women remain trapped in poverty and abusive
