About the Event
So much effort has been made to reduce gender-based violence (GBV) around the world, but these interventions have largely been in urban settings. People in rural areas lack access to information on GBV and they are greatly affected because some traditions and societal norms reinforce ideas that propagate gender imbalances and position women as subordinates, leading to violations of rights and cases of different types of violence.
In addition to highlighting some of the concerns with GBV education in rural settings, this event will also share strategies to circulate GBV education, and highlight examples of successful interventions in Uganda.
