Empowering Youth Against Gender-Based Violence: A Gudie Leisure Farm Initiative

At Gudie Leisure Farm, we champion gender equality through the dedicated efforts of our Gender Equality Committee (GEC). Committed to fostering equality in all our endeavors, the GEC plays a pivotal role in driving awareness and education on gender-related issues, with a particular focus on combating Gender-Based Violence (GBV).

Part of our commitment to addressing this critical issue involves comprehensive training sessions specifically designed for youth, shedding light on the complexities of gender-based violence and its impact on both genders, be it female or male.

By conducting these educational sessions, we aspire to create communities free from the scourge of gender-based violence.

During the recent Busoga Region Spotlight event, youth attendees had the invaluable opportunity to participate in an illuminating session on gender-based violence. The session covered a spectrum of crucial topics, including:

• Defining Gender-Based Violence: Understanding the breadth and depth of actions that constitute gender-based violence.
• Identifying Causes: Exploring the underlying causes and factors contributing to gender-based violence.
• Understanding Effects: Delving into the profound impact and repercussions of gender-based violence on individuals and communities.
• Preventive Measures: Equipping attendees with preventive strategies and measures to combat gender-based violence effectively.

At Gudie Leisure Farm, we recognize that gender-based violence is a stark reality, affecting numerous lives within our communities. By conducting these educational sessions, we aspire to create communities free from the scourge of gender-based violence. Our ultimate vision is to empower our regions’ youth with knowledge and resources to actively prevent and eradicate gender-based violence, fostering inclusive and safe environments for all.

Together, we stand against gender-based violence, paving the way towards a brighter, more equitable future for all.
