Live updates from the Brave Movement Uganda

The Brave Movement Uganda is our first platform in Africa. Taking a multi-sectoral approach, it is a consortia of grassroot organizations and allies within Uganda working towards ending childhood sexual violence.

The national campaign initiative is United for Protection: Elevating Advocates and Erasing Harmful Practices.

"Healing starts when we create safe spaces where survivors can share their experiences without fear, where their voices are valued, and where they can begin to rebuild their lives with dignity."
