Ending Sexual Violence in Uganda

We support survivors of sexual violence through emergency medical care, trauma counselling, community prevention, and pathways to justice.

WHY THIS WORK MATTERS

Sexual violence remains one of Uganda’s most hidden crises.

Nearly 1 in 3 women in Uganda experience sexual violence in their lifetime. Stigma forces survivors into fear and silence, while poverty exposes women and girls to exploitation and limits their ability to seek help.

We work with communities to break the silence and ensure survivors can access emergency medical care, trauma healing, and pathways to justice.

Our Mission

Established in 2018, we are a non-profit organisation combating sexual violence in Uganda.

Our mission is to empower survivors of sexual violence by providing safe spaces where they can freely and openly share their experiences, fostering their growth in mental, social, cultural, and economic aspects. We offer comprehensive services, including emergency medical care, virtual and in-person counselling, and legal assistance to support survivors in their journey to healing. In addition to direct support, We actively engage in prevention efforts through community advocacy, educational programs, and partnerships with local leaders and law enforcement to ensure justice for survivors.

Our unwavering commitment to justice provides reassurance and confidence in our work. By addressing the immediate needs of survivors and working towards systemic change, we aim to create a community where every individual can live free from the trauma of sexual violence.
