WorldFish and EMEDO hosted a community dialogue event in Murumo in Mazinga Ward, Muleba District, Kagera Region. The activity was part of a broader gender-transformative initiative aimed at promoting gender equality, ethical and genderresponsive leadership, and violence-free fisheries. The event used the power of community theater and storytelling to achieve the following:

• Raise awareness about GBV (sexual violence/harassment, economic abuse, physical violence) in the fisheries context.
• Promote healthy leadership models rooted in empathy, respect and inclusion.
• Showcase women’s roles as decision-makers and agents of change.
• Empower local women and youths to speak out and lead change.
• Strengthen solidarity among men, women, young people and traditional leaders in order to achieve transformative change.
