Public Dialogue to End Child Marriage in Butaleja

By Kabahubya Phiona | Programme Coordinator

This dialogue was organizes mainly to address two objectives which included;

       I.            To generate and document commitments, political will and strategies proposed by candidates towards ending child marriages and teenage pregnancies in Butaleja district once elected in their respective political positions.

    II.            To sensitize the community and create awareness about the dangers of child marriages and teenage pregnancies to both the individual families and the community at large.

Methodology:             

A week prior the day of the dialogue, we held a planning and security meeting with the district security, Resident district commissioner, office of the CAO, office of gender and child protection, representatives of the candidates among others, at the district headquarters. The aim of this meeting was to harmoniously plan for the event, rectify on the child marriage questions, plan for security since it was a season of political climax and distribute roles and responsibilities to every stakeholder.

The dialogue was conducted mainly in Lunyole (the local language) as the language of communication which enabled equal participation by all members. The Assistant Chief Administrative officer was the moderator of the dialogue assisted by a member from civil society organization. Each candidate was given maximum of 10 Minutes to make their submissions/views and 5 minutes to respond to questions related to child marriages.  In order to keep the dialogue focused, any question to a particular candidate was asked through the moderators.

The dialogue was broadcasted LIVE on Open Gate FM radio station which was chosen because of its wide coverage in the region and the most accessible and listened to by the majority community members in Butaleja district.
