The Agnes Kagure Foundation has made a passionate appeal for action in the fight against gender-based violence (GBV), emphasizing the importance of breaking the silence surrounding this issue.

The Foundation stressed that silence and stigma are major factors that allow GBV to continue affecting countless lives in society.

“Every time we stay silent about gender-based violence, we perpetuate the vice

“GBV thrives in the shadows of silence and stigma, but we can change that by empowering victims to speak out and feel protected when they do,” read Agnes Kagure’s statement on socials.
