Radio
talk shows
There are continuous radio talk shows on guide radio
about VAW every Saturday at 10:30-11 am which covers Kasese, Rubirizi and some
parts of Kabarole.However, these talk shows are conducted in lhukonzo only
which is a limiting factor since this zone is multilingual. This is done in
partnership with ACODEV which is an alliance member organization of We Can.
Road
drive
This activity was one of the
numerous activities undertaken by the Kasese district we can alliance to raise
awareness about prevention of violence against women and girls to make sure
homes and the general community become a better place to live in.
To create awareness about
prevention of VAW and reduce its torelence among the perpetrators and victims.
To mobilize more people to
join the campaign and sign up the change makers forms.
To popularize the aims of
the 16 days of activism and implore all the community members to do every
possible to create a violence free environment.
The Kasese we can alliance organized
a road drive to mark the 16 days of a ctivism.This road drive event was
conducted in way that main venue was Kisinga trading centre with lots of stop
over along the kisinga, ,Kiburara,Kanyambara and Kinyamaseke trading
centers.The activity was planned in way that at different stop overs,key
messages would be passed and people commit voluntarily to become change makers.
All this was made possible with the great work of the local artists association
who accompanied the We can alliance members and entertained the people at
different venues.
Discussion arose from
presentations of different speakers and many people mainly women committed to
sign as change makers.
A Total of 283 people signed
as change makers (193 women and 90 men)
