Helping Kids Get Their Day in Court!
Justice is a critical piece of the healing process. It’s the one piece my daughter, Vanessa, did not find as she watched her uncle get bribed out of jail. At Rescue One More, one of our core missions is to create a pathway to justice for Ugandan children who’ve experienced sexual violence.
The journey toward justice is fraught with challenges. In addition to rampant corruption, families often try to negotiate settlements privately, outside of the courts and the public’s eyes – a practice that denies victims the justice they deserve and puts countless other children at risk of becoming a predator’s next victim.
But corruption and private settlements are no longer viable options in the communities we work in. Our Community Action Teams (CAT) are committed to arresting perpetrators and prosecuting cases to the fullest extent of the law.
Their hard work is paying off. So far. we’ve helped:
- Facilitate 237 arrest
- Get nearly 100 cases committed to the high court
And because our model ensures high levels of transparency and accountability, these predators are staying where they belong; behind bars.
The path to justice is long, but we’re determined to see it through. Because we know from personal experience just how crucial justice is in the healing journey.
The demand for our services is growing considerably. We couldn’t do it without your support. When you invest in Rescue One More, you literally transform lives.
Nationally televised news story about a teacher arrested with help from our Wakiso Community Action Team on charges of aggravated defilement of seven primary students.
Because of you, we’re able to:
- Facilitate crime scene investigations and arrests
- Collect evidence in a way that minimizes further trauma
- Provide children and non-offending family members with all the legal support they need
Your support also ensures child survivors receive the love, care, and emotional support they need to mend the pieces of their shattered lives back together again.
Proverbs 31:8-9 reminds us to“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”
Your support is a direct response to this call.
Thank you for all the ways you support us. Together, we can ensure every child survivor has their day in court.
