Today the 26th, we begin the 16 days of activism! This year, I choose to do my activism in fighting Gender Based Violence! You will not know what these three words mean until u r a victim otherwise it remains as simple as GBV like most of us shorten it! But it is real!

GBV is a killer! Early 2020, I got attacked by a strange condition! Collapsed in office and I remember Joan (our Accountant then) rush me to Ruth Gaylord hospital! I was hospitalized for a week, did all sorts of tests including an ECG from the mulago Heart institute.

Upon discharge was given a file labelled " suffering from long time stress" advised to rest for two months "! Thanks to the lockdown that brought the opportunity to eat and play with my children and the strange attack disappeared! GBV kills!

GBV kills! I should have been dead 3 years ago but thankfully am not! To everyone in a relationship (married officially or not) my question for u today is: How much stress are u piling unto ur partner? People think GBV is beating! My dears it is more than that!

The FOCAGIFO message of stigma reduction and imporoved Adherence already trending at ICASA! Can you be the love solution towards non adherence and non suppression 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
