Today we had a discussion at GWED-G with our 2 swiss volunteers @et_tolrache and @naytsab sent by @eirene_suisse about a new evaluation tool for GWED-G's work on #womenrights and #GBV.
This survey, carried out at least once a year, will allow us to identify gaps in our work with women and girls in Northern Uganda.
Thank you to all the team present for your active participation and for your valuable collaboration in the field to submit these questionnaires which are so important for improving our impact.

Thanks to the support of @tallawahjusticeforwomen

Thanks to the support of @tallawahjusticeforwomen and @uniofnottingham, we started last week a new research about the successes and challenges faced by women survivors leaders in the Greater North of Uganda, region affected by the LRA war for more than 20 years.
.
Focus group discussions and individual interviews have already taken place in Lira, Soroti, Moroti, Adjumani, Arua and Gulu.
.
The discrimination and enormous difficulties in their path have not deterred them from becoming role models, creating their own NGOs and CBOs to advocate for women who, like them, are still suffering the consequences of war.
.
We will keep you informed of the progress and results of this crucial research to advance women's rights in these regions.
