Sex and Genderbased Violence Workshops, Uganda 2018-2020

Championing Gender Equality and Peace Earlier in Life

Introduction
Sex and Genderbased Violence Workshop 2017 is an activity of the Integrated Mental Health Initiative (IMI) under the theme "mental health and peace twins for sustainable livelihoods and wellness". It aims at making sense out of gender issues and easing as much as succeeding at efforts towards poverty eradication and conflict transformation for sustainable development, wellness and peace.

Expectations:
The workshop will present rightful tools for understanding gender and SGBV and transforming the lives of affected and at-risk groups for better health, livelihoods and peace.
The workshop will empower individuals and organizations working in gender and peace development sectors with best practices for creating behavior chance and transforming SGBV into peaceful co-existence and inclusive development.
The workshop will speed up efforts towards meeting sustainable development goals.

Context
There is a steady rise of women and gender movements advocating equal treatment for women as for men. They have helped to cause awakenment and mass consciousness. However, women and movement have not actualized yet the principle of equity as responses have proved to be a more a conflict between feminism and masculinism without common ground for approaching development challenges. This  conflict has ironically evolved masculine tendencies in women to compete and struggle against men rather than work together. Many such women have ended up straining marriage relationships and opting to live as either single women, lesbians or single mothers. As such women movements created a worse social structure and imbalances that deny families stability and happy development of children. Rather than stabilize society women and gender movements have destabilized them, with increasing number of women as much as men failing and support continuity of society. Empowering service providers and at-risk communities help gain access to greater protection for affected communities and allows survivors to fully recover and live their lives in dignity.
Unique aspects of the training 
The Gender Based Transformative Workshop provides rightful understanding gender, sexuality and gender equality to improve behavior of men and women towards equal access to development opportunities and roles in meeting community challenges, without breaking and undermining the existing social structure for social continuity, such that men remain men and women as such, and that efforts to emancipate women do not victimise men - so that both contribute and benefit to and/or from development opportunities available regardless of their respective nature and conceivable thoughts on potential differences.
Objectives:

• To reduce burden of women and in key production areas needed for stable families and society.
• To ensure transmission of rightful message and programmes on gender to beneficiaries of respective organizations
• To support gender mainstreaming in key sectors of development
• To encourage weaker genders attain their development goals, without bias 
• To prevent violence based on gender 
• To realise peace and security as a whole 

Key programme outcomes:

• Equal access to development opportunities.
• Active and mass participation in economic production 
• Rapid socioeconomic growth and development 
• Socioeconomic stability and peace
• General state of wellness.

Championing Gender Equality Yields a More Equal World, Sustainable Development and Peace

KIDS OF AFRICA “RUN FOR FUN”

KIDS OF AFRICA

Kids of Africa, a Swiss initiative, is a children’s home operating in Uganda . It takes care of 92 abandoned children in ten family homes, each headed by a dedicated and loving foster mother. Kids of Africa is raising these children to be the backbone of the next generation of Ugandan society. It is expected that they will then contribute to improving the futures of similarly disadvantaged youngsters.



The compound consists of ten family homes, a kindergarten, a farm, and a carpentry workshop. At Kids of Africa, it is a belief that it takes more than bricks and mortar to raise a child. Exposure to modern farming and carpentry skills enables children to learn through multiple means and have skills they can use later on in life.
