With insecure land rights it’s almost impossible for the poor to overcome poverty. A house and a small patch of land are their shelter, food and desperately needed income. But for widowed women and orphaned children even this fragile foundation is not safe. Powerful relatives or neighbours often steal their meagre property with violence or lies. However, we can praise God for a conviction in Gulu, achieved through plea-bargaining. This relates to the case of an 82-year-old woman who was physically threatened and then had false charges made against her, putting her and multiple children on her family’s compound at risk. This is the first time an International Justice Mission team has achieved a conviction through plea-bargaining. Please pray for more convictions to be attained in Uganda through this effective and time-saving method.
