Government reports suggest rising levels of domestic violence toward women that are directly attributable to poverty.
Through the Women Economic Empowerment (WEE) intervention under the SURGE program in Mubende, 12 women groups in Myanzi, Bagezza and Butoloogo sub counties have been empowered through training on life skills and economic literacy, savings and credit, gender and rights and enterprise tailored training for their respective group businesses and have been supported with start-up kits for their group enterprises.
