GRRIPP Africa is proud to present a report and documentary from the FIDA-UK project "Beyond Victimisation" in Kampala.
The report and film challenge popular stigmas which characterise women as helpless victims by describing how the Community Legal Volunteer (CLV) programme managed to produce 20 trainee participants, whom to date have presented and resolved 57 cases of GBV at their market sites.
The report content and discussion provides insight into legal rights of women, services available to survivors, social and cultural barriers influencing the welfare of market vendors and how women, key role-players and civil society can work together to create locally viable solutions.
