POLICY BRIEF: GENDER BASED VIOLENCE - A Hindrance to the Realization of Rights Among Women and Girls in Karamoja And Teso Regions
Welthungerhilfe is supporting the Center for Health, Human Rights and Development (CEHURD), Straight Talk Foundation(STF), and Kiyita Family Alliance for Development (KIFAD) under the Grow Together project, to engage in the communities of Karamoja and Teso on gender inequalities including addressing Gender Based Violence (GBV). The project is implemented in the districts of Moroto, Napak, Amuria and Katakwi. CEHURD focuses mainly on the advocacy component of the project and the major is to enable Women and Girls to articulate demands related to addressing GBV at sub-national and national level advocacy platforms. STF and KIFAD work directly in communities of the project districts. Through the various interventions, they are able to pick out key issues that are addressed before duty bearers at different levels including subcounty and district level.
This policy brief thus expounds on the key findings from the various engagements that require the attention of duty bearers at the national level and offers targeted recommendations to curb gender-based violence in Karamoja and Teso regions.
