Although the number of children excluded from education has been halved since 2000, access to quality education, is still far from being achieved.

What kind of cruelty is this?
The Children Act (Cap 62) guarantees every child protection from torture, cruel, inhuman, & degrading treatment.
This child deserves justice & the law must speak loudly so that no person ever thinks they can brutalize a child & walk free.
As Uganda advances in HIV #treatment, it is clear that partnerships between government, researchers, health institutions, and communities are key to expanding access and saving lives.
Together, we can accelerate progress and move closer to an HIV-free generation.

Happy Birthday to our head of programs, @SandraKT24. You are a joy and of incredible value to the team. We value your daily commitment and continuous work to protect the rights of children in Uganda.
Kudos to the Uganda Police Force for the swift action. This intervention has protected a child’s future & upheld the law.
The proposed #MarriageBill will go further to ensure that everyone involved in marrying off a child is held fully accountable.

@UNAIDS, represented by the Country Director @jtmakokha, was honored to join partners today's national launch.
Expanding #HIV prevention choices with #LEN is a bold step towards an HIV-free generation.
Apologies alone are not enough in a matter as serious as this. Taking advantage of a minor is a grave offense that can’t be excused with words.
The law should take its full course, if found guilty, the perpetrator must be punished including imprisonment @PoliceUg@JOYFORCHILDREN
I would like to inform the general public that the man seen in the TikTok video, allegedly violating and abusing a young boy to the extent of causing him to vomit during the incident, has surrendered himself to our offices. He is currently under questioning and investigation by CID regarding these serious allegations involving a minor.
It is believed that the suspect may have drugged the young victim prior to carrying out these abusive actions. I therefore appeal to the investigators to handle this matter with the utmost seriousness, diligence, and transparency to ensure justice is served.
Let us all respect the laws of the land and uphold the dignity and rights of others. Abuse in any form is unacceptable and must be condemned by all.
Bible Verse:
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.” Proverbs 31:8.
