💜 Recently in Kampala, Women Human Rights Defenders Network- Uganda stood with WHRDs through powerful self-care, collective care & healing spaces. These moments of reflection, emotion & solidarity are not just soothing,they’re protective. Because defending rights starts with caring for those who defend.
