Us For Girls Foundation

Kobusinge Patricia reminds us that as we embark on #16DaysofActivism and beyond, it’s important that we believe survivors and offer them a safe platform to share their story without fear or shame. As we hold perpetrators accountable, we should provide support to survivors and help them all through the healing process. #EndViolenceAgainstGirlsAndWomen AfriYAN East and Southern Africa ( AfriYAN ESA) UNFPA East and Southern Africa Raising Teenagers Uganda: Girls Not Brides: The Global Partnership to End Child Marriage FEMNET - African Women's Development and Communication Network FEMNET - African Women's Development and Communication Network Munnira-Afrikana Katongole Molly Fenton BCAh Women Deliver Womenful Voice
