ACFODE with support from UWONET/UNFPA
under the 7th GOU country programme carried out Gender Based
Violence (GBV) prevention and response trainings, targeted toward schools in
selected areas of northern Uganda including Kotido, Moroto, Kaabong and
Katakwi.
Participants during a GBV prevention and response
training in
northern Uganda
PTAs, student leaders, BOG and
students from 12 schools in the region
were taken through
sessions which aimed to sensitize the students on ways of identifying and
reporting school-related GBV incidents, and also help school administrators to
identify their roles and responsibilities in the fight against GBV in schools. The
schools that participated in the training included; Kaabong S.S, Pope Paul Memorial
High School, Jubilee 2000 S.S Karema, Kotido S.S, Kotido
Parents Advanced School, Moroto High School, Nanduget S.S, Moroto Parents Standard Academy, Katakwi S.S,
Usuk S.S, Ogoneja S.S and St. Peters Comprehensive S.S.S.
As a result of the trainings, school administrators were empowered with better
understanding of their responsibilities in regard to GBV. The participating
schools also formed GBV clubs in a bid to cultivate a culture of raising
awareness on GBV related issues in their local communities.
