+ Justice for Refugees +

In Uganda, some survivors of sexual and domestic violence have been waiting months – even up to a year – for justice and some small degree of closure. A huge backlog of cases has prevented these refugee women from having their day in court. And even those who did get a court date often were forced to postpone either because they had no transportation to the city from Nakivale refugee settlement where they live or they had no one to translate for them during proceedings. ARC’s team in Uganda came up with the longshot idea to bring the judges to the survivors, and they rallied to actually make this creative solution a reality. They invited district judges and magistrates to the refugee settlement, and over the course of a 12 day judicial process 80+ cases were heard. This was the first time that any judge had come to Nakivale settlement to provide resolution for both survivors and defendants.
