Gender Based Violence
Description
Violence affects the lives of many Ugandans and when not fatal, can have long-lasting consequences. Deaths are only a fraction of the health and social burden arising from gender based violence and violence against children. Women and girls, children and the elderly bear a higher burden of non-fatal physical, sexual and psychological consequences of abuse
