<p>I'm from Uganda, growing up was once in a violent environment as a toddler, when i reached around 17 years i realized it was gender based violence and this pushed to become a gender equality advocate. The scars i got as a toddler still resonate in my mind, i raise my voice in defense of myself and those who cant speak or be heard.</p>
