Speaker Notes
Challenge harmful norms. Create safe spaces. Continue empowerment efforts. #EndGBV
Context: Haguruka is committed to empowering communities to prevent and respond to GBV. We recently organised a community dialogue with @giz_rwanda in Muhoza Sector, @MusanzeDistrict.
▶️ Many participants associated GBV only with sexual and physical violence.
▶️ Women openly shared their personal experiences, while men tended to focus on the legal system, saying they feel it favors women.
▶️ Stigma remains a significant barrier, with some women only feeling safe to share their stories privately after the session.
This highlights the need for continued efforts to challenge harmful gender norms and create safe spaces for victims to share their experiences.
