Survivor-centred support in Uganda
Survivor-centred support in Uganda
Seeking justice after sexual violence isn’t easy. It can be slow, confusing, and at times overwhelming.
We stay alongside survivors through that process; helping with referrals, working with police and prosecutors, and following up on cases so they’re not left to face the system on their own.
For many survivors, trying to seek justice comes with its own set of challenges; fear, stigma, not knowing where to start, and systems that don’t always respond the way they should.
Because of that, cases are often dropped, mishandled, or never reported in the first place.
Justice isn’t just about reporting what happened. It’s about being supported through the process, being understood, and being taken seriously.
We support survivors to take the steps they choose; connecting them to police, public prosecutors, and health services, while staying alongside them through the process.
We also work with institutions to strengthen how cases are handled, so that survivors are met with understanding, not resistance.
Your support helps ensure survivors are not left to navigate legal systems alone and that their cases are taken seriously.
