Introducing “TOSIRIKA TOSIRIKA” means “Speak Up.” Through this campaign, Women of Faith in Action-WOFA together with our partners are raising voices against gender-based violence in Uganda. Too many women and girls suffer in silence. TOSIRIKA is our call to break that silence and SPEAK UP!!!
Not all abuse is physical. Words, threats, gas lighting, victim blaming and manipulation can cut deeper than we imagine. Survivors of mental GBV deserve to be heard, believed, and supported. 💜 #EndGBV #TOSIRIKA #SpeakUp Women of Faith in Action-WOFA Mend Initiative Questpro_Women_foundation
