@CKimbugwe. When we talk about Uganda's open door policy, we need to walk the talk. We need to ensure that as government, civil society and all stakeholders are involved in creating a conducive environment for #refugees to access services openly & live safely in Uganda. #WRD2026

The story of NRA rape of men in Northern Uganda is here - told by the victims in their own words. It was screened at Theatre La Bonita in Kampala on Thursday, June 4, 2009.

It is 20 minutes long.

The documentary, like many documented accounts of NRA violence in Northern Uganda, has been scraped off the internet, but some university libraries have copies from where we got this.
