Our leaders have left the community in the darkness. This was
revealed during the reflection meeting of Yesu Atubaliye women group on 11th
July, 2017 at Ntotoro sub county headquarters. The reflection was attended by
30 women members (FPAs) who had been reaching out to other members of the community.
Among the issues on the reflection was to sharing and discussing what each of
the trained FPAs has so far done, the success and challenges from the actions.
Participants noted that, home visits have been done, they convinced
more women to form or join women groups at village level such that they are
able to share problems and challenges.FPAs are working with LCIII chairperson
on the sensitization trips to the community, they have composed drama and songs
that promote peace in the community. However, the issue of land in bundibugyo
where some tribe think land belongs to the Omudingiya and OBB still cause some confrontation,
women are still being overlooked and seen as only house wives, theft of farm
products like cocoa and some beliefs of witch craft still exist.
Members agreed on a work plan of actions that shall be done
in the next month and subsequent months. These action points include, conduct
sensitization meeting in these village registering more cases, hold village and
parish Barazas, encourgage women to start engaging in production work and
petition the sub county leadership to sensitize the women on the UWEP and YLF
that are meant to improve the lives of women and youth.
