Raising Voices, a civil society organisation working to prevent violence against women and children, has recognised nine individuals for championing the rights of children. The individuals chosen on Tuesday at Raising Voices offices in Kamwokya and described as community-based heroes, include WBS TV’s Drake Ssekeba, Justine Rukanda in the adult category and Aida Namusoke in the children’s category. They will receive Shs100,000 each.
Last year, the organisation called on the public to nominate individuals who have significantly contributed to ending violence against children. Ms Prossy Nakajako, the programmes officer, said many of the entries nominated people who have done wonderful things for children.
The winners of the competition were chosen according to their outstanding contributions ranging from pursuing justice for victims of violence to saving and doing wonderful things for children.
