Greetings!
It is with profound commitment and resolve that I join hands with PROCMURA and all advocates across Africa in the fight against Gender-Based Violence (GBV). Violence against women and girls is not just a violation of fundamental rights—it is a systemic challenge that undermines the dignity, health, and potential of countless individuals, families, and communities.
The Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa (PROCMURA) stands in solidarity with all Ghanaians as they prepare to exercise their democratic right to vote in the General Elections scheduled for Saturday, 7th December 2024. As a Pan-African Christian organisation committed to promoting peace, peaceful coexistence, and mutual respect among communities of diverse religious, political, and cultural backgrounds, PROCMURA commends Ghana for its longstanding reputation as a peaceful country and commitment to peaceful elections.
Blessed Greetings to all!
As a Gender Activist, it gives me pleasure to participate in the 16 days of activism, during which the members of PROCMURA join the Side by Side Faith Movement for Gender Justice and other allies all over the world to raise our voices, create awareness, and disseminate information on GBV/SGBV so that we can take action to eliminate discrimination and promote inclusion using the Maputo Protocol.
Uganda is a religiously diverse country, with Christianity and Islam being the dominant faiths. The country has a long-standing tradition of religious coexistence, but as religious landscapes evolve, the need for informed engagement across different faith groups becomes more pressing and necessary. The Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa (PROCMURA), in partnership with the Uganda Joint Christian Council (UJCC), recently organised a three-day workshop for church leaders in Uganda’s capital, Kampala, to continue empowering the church to effectively carry out its mission in this continually growing religious pluralistic environment.
