The arrest was made in response to the distressing incident which occurred on Thursday, August 31, highlighting the urgent need to address issues of domestic violence and gender-based violence in the country.

The incident has sparked national outrage and calls for justice, as well as raising awareness about the critical importance of combating domestic violence.

Additionally, this incident serves as a reminder for the urgent need to implement and enforce stricter laws and regulations to protect individuals from similar acts of violence.
Efforts should be made to increase public awareness about domestic violence, promoting a culture of respect, empathy, and gender equality. It is imperative that individuals come forward to report any signs of abuse, and that adequate support systems are in place to assist victims as they seek justice and begin the healing process.

Collectively, these efforts have the potential to create a safer and more supportive society for all individuals, free from violence and fear.
The recent arrest made in Kasese following the heinous act of severing a woman’s hands serves as a distressing reminder of the urgent need to combat domestic violence in Uganda.
This incident should prompt a broader conversation about the implementation of stricter measures, community education, and support systems to protect victims of such violence and prevent future occurrences.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
