Janet Museveni, Minister of Education

The first lady and minister for education and sports Janet Kataaha Museveni has urged governments in the Great lakes region to strengthen their efforts towards the eradication of all forms of Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) in the Region.

Speaking during the commissioning of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region- Regional Training Facility on the Prevention and Suppression of Sexual Violence (ICGLR-RTF) at Munyonyo, Mrs.Museveni noted the need to combat sexual violence against women and children through preventing, criminalizing and punishing acts of sexual violence, both in times of peace and in times of war, in accordance with national laws and international criminal law.

She expressed optimism that the facility will help in promoting access to justice for victims of sexual and gender-based violence through training people who deal with cases of sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) on a daily basis such as police officers, judicial officers, psychosocial workers and medical officers among others.

Educationalists highlight the need to investigate and stop school related gender based violence which has retention levels in school across the country. The chairman Board of director Mild May Training Institute, Dr. Samuel Luboga, says the violence is perpetrated by both teachers and pupils mainly through corporal punishments and bullying.
Luboga says there is need for government to find out the causes of violence and come up with ways of stopping the vices which will help reduce the number of children dropping out of school as a result of such.

This during the 6th graduation ceremony of Mild May Training Institute where about 29 students graduated in various advanced science disciplines.
