Our Gender-Equality Education & GBV Prevention program has become a pivotal force for change in Uganda and especially within the refugee settlements of Bidi-Bidi, Nakivale, and Rwamwanja, which collectively host over 600,000 individuals, primarily women and children fleeing violence and poverty in their home countries. This initiative not only addresses the immediate educational needs of young girls and youth who often drop out after primary school, but it also actively promotes gender equality and the prevention of gender-based violence (GBV).

 

By implementing tailored curricula that include life skills training, self-esteem enhancement, and vocational courses, the program empowers participants to overcome challenges specific to their circumstances. It fosters an inclusive atmosphere where gender equality is not merely an aspiration but a lived experience. The comprehensive approach of the program tackles the root causes of educational dropout and GBV, ensuring a lasting impact on the communities it serves.

 

In Bidi-Bidi, with a population exceeding 320,000, and in Nakivale and Rwamwanja, which have populations of over 150,000 and 120,000 respectively, the program plays a crucial role in reshaping the futures of those affected by conflict and displacement. By breaking down barriers and providing essential tools for success, our Gender Equality Education and GBV Prevention program is transforming lives and fostering resilience among some of the most vulnerable populations in the world, in some of the biggest refugee settlements in the world.
