Using Community Health Clubs to Develop A Community SGBV Scorecard and Reduce SGBV in Mayuge District, Uganda

In Uganda, 22% of women have experienced some form of sexual violence, and this is commonest among the disabled, those with the least education and wealth. Moreover, 51% of all these victims neither seek help nor tell anyone about the violence. [1] This lack of reporting, because of the stigma attached to Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) [2], leaves many women suffering in silence and exposes them to many health risks, including HIV. This affects their quality of life and productivity.
