Victoria Aloowo: It is a lockdown. Children feel confined. They want to go back to school and also see what is out there. Children have to be open with their parents so that they can report sexual advances before they even happen. #DayOfTheAfricanChild #DAC2020 #NBSUpdates

"As the Girls Advocacy Alliance Uganda project comes to an end, we want to see how the institutions mostly from government sustain the already in place interventions towards ending child marriage", Mr. Adupa, National Country Manager, Child Protection, Plan International Uganda

He says, it is not easy to change pre-existing social norms and attitudes on child marriage but with what Girls Advocacy Alliance Uganda has done in the last five years, we can only be grateful and still call upon all other stakeholders on this cause of ending child marriage. #GirlsAdvocacyAlliance

Iveta Ouvry Country director Plan International Uganda ;We are very happy that the Girls advocacy alliance has transformed into a new and very exciting youth led project that we hope it will rightfully amplify girls and women voices. #sheLeadsug

Dream like @nyaAcholi. Dare to dream, we shall pull down the patriarchal norms of society one step at a time. The world is ripe for young girls to arise and take up leadership positions. It's time to shake the status quo and it's time to act.

It is wonderful to have the government standing by girls to ensure that they are actively engaged in decision making processes and given the support and platform to stay in those processes. #SheleadsUg
