Medical report showed the girl was defiled,she identified the culprit only for the PP to reject the file for lack of evidence.When we tried to get independent bodies like Human rights, Probation and child fund,the case file disappeared without a trace.

    I’ve been in Northern Uganda for approx 2 years and this documentary isn’t even a tip of the mess there. A few months back, I witnessed a first hand scenario where a gentleman working with Local Gov’t (LG) was looking for a man who had impregnated his 14 yr old niece. Why? He wanted to hand over the girl to the man officially for marriage. But the guy responsible for the pregnancy had escaped when he’d heard about it. LG gentleman then called police and wanted us arrested because we didn’t help him catch the guy. A very high ranking police officer showed up and to my dismay, was the origin of the “get her married the her perpetrator” idea. I thought he was joking until he said “That’s how we do our things here”. It’s then that I knew that the plight of underage girls was far from over…

      Its really bad for African Americans too. I read a study about a native peoples, that showed over 90% of girls are molested before 10 years old.

    Why don’t the “good” men take care of the perpetrators themselves? If none of the men are courageous enough to protect the women and children, then they do not deserve to have women and children. Perhaps the women should start deciding who exists and does not.
