Cheptegei’s death highlights link between GBV and property rights https://t.co/BdAbNkfjDy

[Atuki Turner @gipir]

The murder of Cheptegei by her ex-boyfriend centres around property in the fact that women are seen as property over whose bodies property– in the form of cash or cows–can be exchanged. Put another way, women and girls are transactional @MattCampbell see https://t.co/gGH3spPmuF

When children are treated as criminals for suffering crime:

The story in brief. A spunky 13 year old girl, Lily, gives her father’s bicycle to a man to do boda boda business for her. Why? Her parents have abandoned her and her two brothers, 11 and 9, and gone off to Kenya…

It was a fabulous farewell do at the Dutch embassy, enjoyable as only the Dutch know how to make happen. Here with friends and HEROES colleagues Patrick Kagurusi and Michael Muyonga @RuthvanZorge @JudithAdokorach @Amref_Uganda @mifumiproject @NicholasOpiyo15

Farewell party at the Dutch embassy started off with a bang with Netherlands winning against Romania 3:nil. Farewell to Ruth van Zorge - diplomat, activist, dancing Queen, best ever. With sidekick Judith Adokorach. We shall miss you but do visit us in future

Poverty bites: A young boy broke his wrist.His mother was too poor to afford the required X-ray. A kind man learning of the situation gave her the 30,000 UG Shs needed, about $8. She used it to buy food. The likelihood of this boy earning a living in future is also broken.

Spent last 3 days in Mbale with amazing women. Talking should I stay or should I go? @mifumiproject @Amref_Uganda @RuthvanZorge @Karin_Boven @BarackObama @mgmosinghi

@cobbo3 This is amazing. So much that’s rich. I feel I am in the Shoreditch theatre already in the 16th century and I am acting as one of those Shakespeare famous female protagonists.
