Over the years, different stakeholders have undertaken various measures to end violence against women and girls. However, the violation of women’s and girl’s rights in Uganda is still a challenge. 

The Cross-Cultural Foundation of Uganda (CCFU) in partnership with the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development, with support from the EU-UN Spotlight Initiative to Eliminate Violence Against Women and Girls and the Embassy of Sweden, is implementing a project aimed at utilizing positive cultural resources to address violence against women and girls, promote sexual reproductive health rights and access to justice. The project is implemented in the 6 cultural communities of Acholi, Alur, Buganda, Busoga, Karamoja, and Tooro. 

As part of the project, young people in Acholi, Alur, Karamoja, Buganda, and Tooro participated in a drawing competition to illustrate cultural resources in their communities that are utilized to end violence against women and girls. 

Over 200 entries were collected and a selected few are highlighted in this film.
