Women Empowerment
In Uganda, 56% of women and girls between the ages of 15-49 experience spousal violence while 22% are subjected to sexual violence, according to the Uganda Demographic Household Survey 2016. While the existence of gender-based violence violates the human rights of women and children and slows down progress in achieving sustainable inclusive human development, it has persisted in Uganda due to social beliefs, perceptions and attitudes about societal roles of women and men, boys and girls.
TGIA his Grace Development group (ug) Ltd is determined to challenge violations of women rights through; increasing awareness about Violence against Women, Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights and the rights of women and girls. We are fighting domestic violence through encouraging abused women to speak out and report the abusers to authorities to get justice.
We are equipping communities and their gatekeepers (Parents, Religious leaders, Local Council leaders, traditional leaders) to become activists for change in their various capacities. When women, girls and communities are aware about the rights of women, their voice can be used to lobby policy makers and the government to enforce strict laws which will hold the perpetrators of Violence Against Women more accountable.
