Gender Based Violence Prevention
Kyetume has set up a community based health care service in order to combat issues such as gender based violence.[6]
In Uganda, gender based violence is one of the leading causes of female injury and due to the larger number of men in power most women are seen as powerless.[6]
To combat this the Kytume community-based health care service has started to raise awareness for such violence.[6]
