Kampala Declaration: Preventing Gender-based Violence in Africa
---------------------------------------------------------------
Over 30 leaders from non-governmental organizations and local au-
thorities from the Horn, East and Southern Africa convened in
Kampala, Uganda in September 2003 for the first Regional Dia-
logue, "Preventing Gender-based Violence: Sharing Experiences,
Breaking New Ground", organized by Raising Voices and UN-
HABITAT's Safer Cities Programme. The Kampala Declaration was de-
veloped in which the participants call on civil society, local
authorities, UN agencies, governments and funding agencies to in-
crease attention, investment and action on preventing gender-
based violence in Africa.
