Uganda’s track record in addressing violence against women is still far from satisfactory. Women feel too unsafe to go to the police and continuously are let down by the justice system. The women in these images are survivors of sexual and domestic abuse. They are campaigners for change and a better position for women in Uganda. Each and everyone of them standing for survival, resilience, strength, determination and a lot of guts.
