LIVE: Speaking at the Beyond Reparations: Strengthening Access to Justice and Survivor Networks for CRSV Survivors in Northern Uganda | #CSW70. @SBaluka, Strategic Interest Litigation Manager, FIDA-Uganda, highlights the critical role of courts in securing justice for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV). She emphasizes that justice must go beyond addressing violations by non-state actors to also hold state actors accountable when they fail in their duty to prevent or respond to CRSV, or are directly involved. @SBaluka notes that current criminal justice approaches often result in non-binding reparations dependent on political will, rather than legally enforceable obligations by the state. She further underscores that strategic litigation and advocacy by actors like FIDA-Uganda are essential to challenge state failures, secure binding reparations, and ensure survivors’ rights are upheld. @SBaluka also highlights systemic challenges in the justice system, including delays, adjournments, and gaps in understanding state due diligence obligations to prevent and respond to sexual violence. This conversation is convened by Golden Women Vision Uganda, FIDA-Uganda, the @MukwegeFound, @glsurvivorsfund, @Sihanet, and @MoJCA_UG.

#FIDAInTheCourtRoom | FIDA-Uganda’s Strategic Litigation Unit led by @SBaluka, continues to follow up on the case of Namukisa Sarah, a student discontinued from the Medical Laboratory Training School–Jinja due to pregnancy. Our team accompanied Sarah to the School to receive her final results, where one subject was found to have missing marks. We also represented her at Jinja Central Police Station, where she faces forgery allegations filed by the School Principal regarding her attendance records. Sarah was released on Police Bond as investigations continue. Supported by 🇩🇰🇸🇪🇳🇱🇮🇪.

THE DEBATE: "I want to emphasize to the @JSCUganda that we must open up processes; Public participation is essential — the public must be part and parcel of the process. Let us take an example from Kenya: my colleague there shared how they handle judicial recruitment. For all judges, there is public assent, public interviews, and public submission of complaints or concerns about shortlisted candidates."

@newvisionwire You forgot to add the part where he says, and I paraphrase, ' You might also have children that are being taken care of by another man.' 🤭

“In our observations, 98% of the DNA results come out negative. You can imagine a man who has raised a child for 15 years, only to be told he’s not the father,” he added. “It is traumatising, especially for children. If you can avoid it, don’t do it. Live and die in peace.” DETAILS || #VisionUpdates 👉👉newvision.co.ug/category/news/…

#FIDAInTheCourtRoom | We took the bold step to challenge Regulation 2.9 of the Health Training Institution’s Rules and Regulations of 2021. This provision is unconstitutional as it mandates students to report pregnancies, subjects them to compulsory pregnancy testing, and imposes punitive measures such as forced academic leave and conditional re-admission. Through this petition, we seek declarations from the court that these provisions are unconstitutional, null and void. We call for rights-based guidelines and the protection of women and their right to access to education.
