I joined the police as an officer in 1996, but I didn’t stay very long. I didn’t like working for the government and I didn’t think things were fair.… - Agnes Nabirye

I have achieved many goals with security. It was not easy at first. CEDOVIP’s visitors used to be challenging. Now I do not have problems with visitors. When someone inquires I help. Now when women come in for help, I receive them and contact the people who work inside. If I ever left CEDOVIP, I know I want to help people in the future, especially children and women. That came from working with CEDOVIP.

In the 5 years I have worked here, I have gotten more than I did when working with the other places. I know how to handle a person who is having such problems in the home, the victims. CEDOVIP also enlightened my thinking. At times I see survivors when the office is not working. I can now handle these people and advise them on where they can go for help.

I really wanted to upgrade. I didn’t know what CEDOVIP did until I joined. That is when I learned that it fights violence in the home. I liked that the CEDOVIP was protecting women, children, men, boys and girls. When I came I started as security and reception. A lot of people come to me for information. They see CEDOVIP on TV and ask about what we do.
