survivors, and basic medical supplies like gauze, water, and pain relief—things you and I may take for granted, but which are life-altering for someone recovering from acid violence.
Currently, we are running a fundraising campaign to support our annual 16 Days of Activism Against Gender based Violence Campaign, which happens every year from November 25 to December 10. The CERESAV team is organizing different activities throughout the campaign to amplify voices of acid attack survivors across Uganda under the theme “A step Towards Justice and Dignity”. We are accepting donations for this specific campaign here: https://gofund.me/7723e194 .
Second, readers can support by raising awareness. Share our story. Talk about acid attack violence. Post about CERESAV. When you amplify survivor voices, you help end the silence that allows this form of terror to hide in plain sight. Third, professionals can give their time and expertise. We need volunteer counselors, legal advocates, grant writers, and tech experts. We have graphic designers who help us with newsletters, and faith communities who’ve joined our Interfaith Prayer Team, lifting up individual survivors each week. And finally— stay connected. Sign up on our website, follow our updates, and let your networks know that healing is possible, justice is needed, and prevention starts with all of us. You don’t have to survive acid violence to fight it. You just have to care. And we welcome anyone willing to stand beside us in that fight.”
