Raising Hope: Reclaiming lives in Lira District, Northern Uganda
The report documents the medical intervention that Isis-WICCE carried out in collaboration in the sub counties of Ogur and Aromo in Lira district to to address the most pressing and priority health needs of women war survivors. Many women survivors of sexual violence have seen their rights to health violated, for instance in providing them with access to Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), antiretroviral treatment and addressing their other sexual reproductive health problems. Isis-WICCE has been working with several medical teams to fill in gaps left by many policy makers in post-conflict countries on the continent in addressing the reproductive health needs of women war survivors. The sexual violations the women are subjected to during war time and the general lack of healthcare even during post conflict situations continue
to affect their reproductive health systems with different complications.
