Raising Voices
 Uganda  |  Women

We believe that women and children have the right to live free of violence in families and communities where relationships are based on equality, respect and value for women's contributions, rights, and participation.

Raising Voices is a results-oriented organization based in Kampala, Uganda. It is recognized regionally and internationally as a pioneer in preventative approaches with proven capacity for creative and practical programs. We are regularly sought out by a variety of international organizations and decision-makers to consult on program design and development, provide technical support and capacity building on violence against women and children, and human rights. Raising Voices works to prevent violence against women by addressing the root causes such as traditional gender roles and the imbalance of power between women and men. We focus on primary prevention approaches that attempt to change the attitudes and behaviors that perpetuate violence against women. We received the Women’s Safety Award from Women and Cities International in 2004 for innovative efforts to prevent violence against women. Currently we are also implementing various programs to prevent and respond to violence against children.
