Ugandan women need full access to justice and their basic rights for society

Women in northern Uganda, who have borne the brunt of a 20-year war, now need full access to justice and their basic rights for society to make a full recovery.That's the view of Uganda's Chief Justice, Bart Katureebe, speaking at a High-Level meeting on Women's Access to Justice at UN Headquarters in New York. He explained that while the constitution protects women, parliament needed to put laws in place to make those provisions operational. Just before the meeting began, the Chief Justice told Liz Scaffidi about the challenges women are facing in the region.
