Advocacy

Kivulini’s advocates and and lobbies for better laws, polices and structural reforms to prevent violence against women and girls. We focus on building the capacity of local activists and leaders, and use a wide range of media to conduct campaigns in the Lake Victoria Region.

Kivulini prides itself on being closely connected to the communities we serve. Because of these close connections, we play a vital bridging role between the communities and  national policy forums. Through exchanging and sharing information, Kivulini brings the voices, issues and priorities from local communities into public debate, and helps to ground public policy in practice by bringing it into the lives of women and men in communities throughout the Lake Victoria Region and Tanzania.

From 2003 to 2007, Kivulini established a broad presence through our active participation in national and regional networks like Policy Forum, Tanzania Education Network, FemAct, and SAHRINGON.

Kivulini also holds a steering position in The Mwanza Policy Initiative Forum. Our main role has been to advocate for the serious consideration of the issue of domestic violence. In addition, Kivulini is the national Focal NGO for the Gender Based Violence Prevention Network – a network of over 150 organizations in the Horn, East and Southern Africa that shares experiences and approaches on preventing violence against women.

Community Mobilisation

Kivulini’s Community Mobilisation Program seeks to raise awareness about the damaging effects of violence against women and girls and to mobilise communities to change longstanding attitudes and behaviors through media campaigns, legal literacy education and participatory events such as dialogues, demonstrations and video sessions.

Our Community Mobilisation work is grounded in the manual Mobilising Communities to Prevent Domestic Violence, A Resource Guide developed by Raising Voices, based in Kampala, Uganda.

Kivulini recognizes that change is a process, and so, to be effective in mobilising communities, we must be aware of the phases of change and then strive to systematically facilitate change. Our efforts to prevent domestic violence are planned along five phases of change, beginning with recognition of where community members are in their current thinking and moves along with them to change attitudes and behaviors that are harmful to women. 

Youth Mobilisation

Kivulini’s Youth Program seeks to create a strong voice for young people to actively demand for their rights.  Using a solutions-focused approach that empowers young people to solve their own problems, we focus on the prevention of violence against girls, the prevention of drug and alcohol abuse, HIV/AIDS prevention and combating infringement of sexual reproductive health and rights. 

Currently we are involved in educating and training youth on the “solutions focused approach”, providing leadership skills training, forming of youth clubs, planning and organizing radio programs, advocating for the rights of child laborers, conducting research as well as organising conferences, sports events and creating youth-based community dialogues.

In 2010-2011, Kivulini is supporting the creation of a youth parliament. On the Day of the African Child in June 2010, a parliament was launched in Mara region. In November of 2010, The Mwanza Youth Parliament will be launched to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our international partner, Terres de Hommes Schweiz.  More than 300 youth are expected to participate.

Capacity Building

ivulini’s Capacity Building Program engages a wide variety of community actors on women’s and human rights, domestic violence and the legal system. These actors include health care workers, law enforcement officials, local government staff, ward tribunal members, community leaders, teachers, community groups and civil society organisations.

Kivulini’s experience has shown that the highest rates of domestic violence occur in remote areas of Tanzania where we are unable to serve as effectively being based in Mwanza. However, we can be effective in helping to combat violence in rural areas by strengthening the capacities of civil society organisations operating there.

Since 2008, Kivulini has partnered with civil society organisations (CSOs) in rural areas to combat violence against women. We conduct needs assessments and support CSOs in designing and implementing programs that promote women’s rights. We also provide training in a variety of areas including the impact of violence, legal and social counseling, and various Tanzanian laws related to marriage, inheritance and land.
