It is a Christian organization that fights for justice around the world. http://www.ijm.org/ourwork/injusticetoday <br /><br />They have an office in Uganda, but I am unaware of how their field office operates. Perhaps they could be of assistance to you and this girl's family.<br /><br />"IJM’s Africa offices also combat sexual violence by bringing relief and aftercare to victims and seeking prosecution of their perpetrators. Sexual violence is a major source of injustice and insecurity in Africa: Overburdened legal systems and ineffective medical documentation procedures mean that the chances of justice for victims are low. In Kenya, for example, the government estimates that a rape occurs every 30 minutes; other studies undertaken in the nation suggest that 60 percent of women will be victimized by some form of sexual violence in their lifetimes.<br /><br />IJM works to combat sexual violence by raising the cost for perpetrators, demonstrating the likelihood of prosecution if they break the law and abuse victims. Staff also ensure that survivors of sexual violence have access to the vital aftercare services they need.<br /><br />These four offices also conduct casework on behalf of victims of illegal detention and police brutality, which are often under-prosecuted in Africa’s overburdened legal systems."Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508456395981736529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176735909708151146.post-17627836286989047382009-06-26T12:31:17.494-07:002009-06-26T12:31:17.494-07:00This precious little girl has been on my heart and...This precious little girl has been on my heart and in my prayers since I read of her plight, and I thank all of you who are advocating on her behalf. Her situation is emblematic of so much sin and evil that seems to be running rampant in this world, and I am asking God as fervently as I can to bring about justice in this case. I am thankful and encouraged that those of you there who are acting as the hands and feet of Jesus have the courage and tenacity to continue to advocate on her behalf, and may God bless your efforts to that end.
