Donate to help us complete the research needed to pass this law!

We're making progress! 

• We have over 40,000 signatures on our petition. 
• We've hired a research consultant, Johnson Owonda, to conduct nationwide research for the acid bill.
• Our Ugandan team completed research in the central region of Uganda. They interviewed acid attack survivors and received data from hospitals and police stations regarding the incidence of acid violence.  This data is key to showing the Ugandan parliament that acid attacks are a big problem in Uganda and a human rights issue that warrants legislative action.  

What's next?  Our next phase of research is to interview survivors and collect hospital and police data from all other regions of Uganda.  Plans are underway to train eight additional survivor researchers and to map out the regions and collect the needed data.  For this part of the project, we need to raise approximately $2800.  That money will be used to pay survivor researchers for their time and transportation across different districts in Uganda, and to pay Johnson Owonda, the researcher and statistician who is heading up this research project.  The results of the research will be compiled into a situational analysis, a comprehensive document describing the problem of acid violence in Uganda. This situational analysis will include demographic information on survivors (age, gender, education level, etc), the 'reason' they were attacked, medical interventions received, and any legal consequences faced by their perpetrator. Then, the situational analysis will be shared with key legislators in Uganda to lend support for the law.  

Please donate to support this project.  Every little bit counts!  We really need your support to make this a reality for vulnerable people in Uganda.
