Thank you all for signing & sharing our petition!  We are excited to have so many signatures and so much support. 

Our Ugandan team is currently completing the second phase of research.  They are interviewing acid attack survivors in more remote regions of the country and meeting with medical personnel and police in those areas 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.  After research is completed, the results 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.  

All of these efforts requiring funds- we're paying survivors to complete the research, we're paying our principal investigator to coordinate this huge project, and we'll need funds to host large-scale meetings with members of the Ugandan parliament.  If you are able, please consider donating to help us meet these needs. We are a small, all-volunteer organization who do the work because of our friendship with the survivors and a desire for them to have access to the same rights and legal protection that most of us are fortunate to have.  Your donation really will help bring justice.  DONATE HERE.
