Vera Komutho

I am a human rights practitioner focusing my advocacy efforts for women and girls’ access to quality Sexual Reproductive Health Services, as well as a Community Trainer on prevention and response interventions to avert gender-based violence while advocating for increased presence of women occupying political and non-political leadership spaces for over 10 years. I have competencies working with adolescent girls and boys to enhance their agency to access quality health related rights while harnessing their financial literacy to improve their livelihood.
