Improving Communication Between Parents and Children as a Strategy to Reduce Violence Against Children

​

5/4/24, 6:30 pm

In April 2025, our founder, Resty Kansiime Agaba, had the honor of joining one of her inspiring podcast guests, Gloriana Bunnya, founder of Together Against CSV Uganda, for the “You Have a Right to Say No” campaign at Katiti Primary School in Mutundwe, Uganda.

​

This powerful collaboration brought together phenomenal women united by one mission — to create safer spaces for children through open dialogue and community empowerment.

Resty facilitated a focus group discussion with parents and guardians, listening to their lived experiences and heartfelt concerns. The conversations echoed many of the stories shared on the SHECentre Podcast — raw, real, and deeply moving.

Key insights from the session included:
• The need to equip parents with tools and knowledge to support their children, especially in vulnerable communities 📚
• The painful effects of poverty — from domestic violence to children exposed to adult content in overcrowded homes ⚠
• The cry for greater community support for single mothers ❤
• The power of faith in nurturing children spiritually ✝
• The urgency of open, honest conversations between parents and children to prevent sexual violence 🗣
• And the often-overlooked need to protect and guide the boy child 🙍‍♂

“This was more than a conversation — it was a call to action.”

Being part of this initiative reignited our founder’s passion to drive change through SHECentre — building spaces where women’s voices matter, families heal, and communities rise together.

💜 10% of all SHECentre profits go directly into outreach projects like this one, allowing us to collaborate, connect, and create lasting impact across East Africa and beyond.
