Domestic violence is a reflection that families are founded on the wrong grounds. Many people walk into marriages with people they hardly know. Even those you think you know can just turn out to be advocates of this violence. Speaking of domestic violence, it’s not just women. There are men who suffer the same but because of the way society views them, they can’t come out.
This says a lot about families in the country. Do we have a family court? Do people know that they can go to police when they experience torture?
There is a lot to ask ourselves. Sadly these are just the cases that police knows about. How about those that suffer in silence?
A home full of violence will produce children of the same trend. If all they see is violence, what would you expect from them as well?
Once still, these homes have many cases of child abuse. There are so many causes of domestic violence. Which among them include stress, drunkenness, poverty, cheating among others. The good thing is that all these causes have solutions that are workable.
Family courts should do their jobs so that we see less of this. Otherwise more crimes and deaths will be reported regarding the same.

![[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.
