RWAMREC participates in Get Moving session in Kampala

From 28 September to 1st October 2010, RWAMREC Executive secretary and the Program coordinator attended a regional workshop on sharing experiences on the Get Moving initiative in Kampala Uganda.

RWAMREC is currently partnering with the Gender Based Violence Prevention Network and its 8 member organizations from 8 countries to build and strengthen a GBV prevention movement in the region. All the regional that are getting Moving! Have linked up in Kampala to discuss values related to GBV prevention work and further enrich the process.

What is the Get Moving! Initiative?

Get Moving! Utilizes reflection sessions, exercises and readings, designed to stimulate personal and / or organizational reflection about GBV prevention work.

Get Moving! Objectives

1. To encourage personal reflection and learning among members to understand and be committed to a rights-based, feminist approach to GBV prevention.

2. To foster reflection at an organizational level on values that include power sharing, shared authority and decision making

3. To create strategies with member organizations for reaching out to others with a rights-based analysis of GBV prevention.

How is the Get Moving! Process organized?

Any group or organization interested in thinking more about the ideas and values that underpin GBV prevention work and what it would take to truly prevent GBV in the region can undertake the 3 phases.

Each phase of Get Moving! Includes a series of sessions meant to be facilitated within a group as well as readings and suggestions for journal writing that participants can do independently.
