vs. : Bridging the Gap to End Violence Against Women and Girls.
Last week, we joined Makerere University and other key stakeholders for a Public Dialogue themed “Linking Theory and Advocacy to Prevent Violence Against Women and Girls.”
Our Executive Director Carol Mukisa Cartnel, who served as one of the panelists, underscored our continued commitment to preventing GBV. She highlighted our collaboration with partners such as Women of Uganda Network and the of ICT & National Guidance which has contributed to the development of the Property Guidelines and strengthened our participation in advocacy spaces that are shaping digital-age policy reforms.
The Deputy Vice Chancellor in charge of Academic Affairs, Prof. N. Ssali who reminded us that:
⏩️ What is intelligent ligent isn’t AI, but the people behind it
⏩️ We should never be apologetic about excellence
⏩️Ending online GBV starts with you and me
⏩️ We still lack sufficient female leadership in the digital tech era
While academia provides specialised expertise, research, and policy influence, the Women’s Rights Movement contributes field experience, networks, and -world of academic knowledge. Both must work hand-in-hand if we are to make lasting change.
We are proud to partner with institutions of higher learning such as University particularly the Institute of Gender and Development Studies (IGDS). Our heartfelt appreciation goes to . Amon Mwiine, Prof.Ssali, Prof. Josephine Ahikire, and the entire organising team for bringing this important conversation to life. Uganda
Together, we MUST end violence against women.
