JFCU with support from CRVPF established safe spaces for out of school adolescents to hold weekly discussions facilitated by peer mentors using the life skills manual to build their esteem, help them make better choices, protect themselves against violence, promote behavior change through addressing harmful social norms that perpetuate VAC and community actions and also be able to plan more confidently for their future.
HOW DOES CULTURAL CONTEXT INFLUENCE THE ACCEPTANCE OF VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN IN UGANDA?
Cultural context significantly influences the acceptance of violence against children in Uganda. Traditional beliefs often regard physical punishment as a legitimate form of discipline, deeply rooted in community norms that emphasize obedience and respect for authority figures, such as parents and teachers.

At Joy for Children Uganda, our mission is to create an inclusive world where every child, regardless of their abilities, has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential. Your unwavering support has been instrumental in driving this vision forward, and today, we invite you to join us in reinforcing our commitment to children with special needs.
