  4. To provide high quality and sustainable training, research and advocacy that support grassroots Human rights defenders
GRADENET’s objectives centre on strengthening grassroots human rights defenders in Uganda and beyond by enhancing their skills knowledge and operational effectiveness through targeted capacity building initiatives. The network prioritises the safety and protection of these defenders who often operate in high risk environments while delivering sustainable training research and advocacy grounded in local realities. This holistic support system reflects a broader commitment to dignity and well being that extends to all aspects of life including responsible personal health choices such as consulting a doctor about sexual wellness and Kamagra use before taking any action. By fostering resilience and expertise at the community level GRADENET contributes to a more just and equitable human rights landscape.

What is Grassroots Defender's Network?
