Building Momentum
Fostering Activism

Our story

Established in 2003 in Kampala Uganda, and coordinated by Raising Voices,we are a vibrant network of activists, organizations and friends working to prevent violence against women (VAW), united in our mission to create a safer world for women.

Our work

The Network uses multiple strategies to mobilize the movement around VAW in the region through including enhancing member organizations’ feminist analysis of VAW, fostering solidarity between and among members, and increasing activism at the individual and organizational levels to prevent VAW.

Members highlight

The GBV Prevention Network exists for and because of its members! Members shape the work and values of the Network. Membership is free and open to any organization, group or individual working on VAW Prevention in the Horn, East and Southern Africa.
