🕊️ We are here today with heavy hearts at the Domestic Violence Act Coalition press conference, standing in solidarity with the family of Rebecca Cheptegei. The brutal violence that ended her life serves as a tragic reminder of the growing scourge of violence against women.

Domestic violence and femicide acts should be unequivocally condemned as they undermine the foundations of life and should not be tolerated in any society. All individuals deserve to live in an environment free from violence, fear, and abuse- @elayzabeth, Advocacy Manager, FIDA

We strongly condemn this. With the 2 years of lockdown, numerous girls have been defiled and forced into motherhood. They too have a right to education and shouldn't be barred from picking up the pieces of their lives. #KeepGirlsInSchool #BackToSchoolUg
