Femlead’s Emergency Campaign
SAVE A GIRL
Covid-19 has hit the Busiiro community hard.
School closures are increasing girls risks of child marriage, domestic violence and sexual violence.
Large increases in young pregnancies are leading to unsafe, backdoor abortions which are frequently resulting in death.
There is an increased expectation on girls to take on household chores and return to traditional gender roles which is lessening their chances of returning to school.
Lack of access to radios, television, computers and internet is leaving many students unable to engage in remote learning.
Access to period products has become even lesser than before.
