Uganda has good laws and serious consequences for perpetrators of child sexual violence, but enforcement is limited by corruption, lack of resources, coordination, and overwhelming demand. In 2024, our teams partnered with the Ugandan government to arrest 221 perpetrators of child sexual violence.
The journey toward justice in Uganda 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. We’re changing that.
