So, it induces worry and affects even your normal life.” Ugandans need effective, accessible and affordable mechanisms for fair resolution of disputes related to land.

“Our first place of refuge when we have a problem is the area LC. I could not run to the police first, because the police could have asked me to go back and collect a referral letter from the Local Council Chairman. Besides, since the LC1 Chairman was also a resident of the village, he knew that the land belonged to me, so he was my number one back up on the side of the law.” Said one of the respondents from the JNS survey.

Land, domestic violence, crime, family problems, debt, and disputes between neighbours are the most frequently occuring problems by the users of Barefoot Lawyers. According to Barefoot Lawyers most of the individuals from this sample are residents of rural areas. Land is a critical resource for those who are occupied in susbsitence agriculture. Disputes over land rights and tenure are essentially livelihood conflicts. People with lower education are more likely to report land problems. Men also encounter more land-related legal problems compared to women. Domestic violence is a significant problem in rural Uganda. Close to one in three of the respondents from the Barefoot Lawyers’ sample report domestic victimization. There is no significant difference in the experience of domestic violence between men and women which is counterintuitive to the notion that domestic violence affects mostly women.
