@FIDA_Uganda Recommends: Government recognise & prioritise domestic violence as a critical issue of concern that has grave consequences for both women and children.
@FIDA_Uganda Recommends: Government recognise & prioritise domestic violence as a critical issue of concern that has grave consequences for both women and children.
: We would like to have domestic violence included as one of the priority areas in addition to medical emergencies such as child birth and heart attack that the presidential directive recognised
: Gov't in collaboration with financial institutions like micro finance institutions, SACCOs, money lenders waive interest during this period. The President spoke about banks but most low income earners borrow from SACCOS, money lenders and micro finance institutions
: We would also recommend that the Government waive deadlines for payment of the funds women & youths receive through the Uganda Women Entrepreneurship Programme and Youth Livelihood Fund respectively.
: We would also recommend that government provide funding packages /financial stimulus for small business owners and vendors to help them get back on their feet after the crisis.
: We would also like to recommend that the Government through Ministry of Health prioritise issues of sexual and reproductive health like access to family planning , condoms, ARV refills etc.
