MEDIA IN PREVENTION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN

-

I am Kyeyune Matia Owen13 years in Primary Seven (P.7) St. Mark Bulenge Primary School, Bussi Island-Uganda.

On behalf of S.T Mark Bulenge P/S pupils, I wish to thank you for the development you have brought to our school. As children we have not known our rights and responsibilities but you empowered us about our rights and responsibilities through supporting and facilitating educative films and debates. Little was known about our school before, but today the whole world has watched and listens to us through local televisions and radios.

As the writer to this letter, I was moved when l watched that recent documentary on St. Mark School Saving Club Activities. It was emotional because all forms of child mistreatment and corporal punishments on the Island were aired out.

On that note thanks Eagles Youth Development Initiative for bringing Buganda Broadcasting Services (BBS T.V) and giving us a chance as a school to participate by giving out our views otherwise our school was not known much but for now, we are everywhere. And many people are visiting and supporting the school for favourable and safe learning of children.

Thank you.
Written by,

  Sanitation related loss of productivity, such as missed workdays, costs some countries over 6% of their gross domestic product (GDP), thereby costing individual countries billions of dollars each year. COVID-19 pandemic has been devastating for households already facing multiple hardships. Before the pandemic, the IMF estimated that 44% of low income developing countries were at high risk or in debt distress. The pandemic has put increased strain on ministries of finance and external debt service obligations and many countries have reached unpayable levels, even without consideration of the need for climate adaptation and resilience. Achieving universal access to basic hygiene and sanitation can unlock annualized net benefits of $45 billion and $65 billion respectively. Achieving universal access to safely managed sanitation might even result in annualized net benefits of $86 billion. In Uganda, Mothers walk for hours every day carrying heavy jerry cans, just to provide for b...
