Julie and Daniel are continuing to interview survivors throughout Uganda. This is to gather additional 'evidence' that acid attacks are a problem in Uganda and make a strong case to the Ugandan Parliament that a law should be passed to help prevent acid violence.
Some of the time, Julie and Daniel can go on local radio or television, explain the purpose of their research and ask survivors to contact them. In more remote regions, Julie & Daniel have been relying on boda boda drivers to help them identify survivors. Why? Boda-bodas are another name for scooters, and boda boda drivers are people who operate as taxis throughout Uganda. It is one of the most popular ways to get around the country. In any given area, there are typically several boda boda drivers congregated, and Julie and Daniel have been approaching these groups and asking if they know of survivors in that region. It's a very smart approach, as boda boda drivers are often the only link between people living in remote villages and the larger towns. Yesterday, Julie and Daniel met five survivors this way, and they are continuing to interview more today.
