Artisanal miners seek equal footing

Artisanal and small-scale miners (ASMs) have called for equal treatment in the mining industry in Uganda, citing lack of enough support form the government.
The call came as many artisanal miners complained of being bumped off exploration areas, and also being ignored during policy formulations.
A recent study by the ministry of Energy and Mineral Development and UNDP revealed that artisanal and small-scale miners in Uganda are estimated to be around 500,000 and they are responsible for over 90 per cent of the entire mineral production in the country, hence the need to treat them fairly.

Summary
Cases. Statistics from the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) office show that the bulk of criminal cases (about 70 per cent) are sexual in nature. Many Ugandan cultures perceive sex to be too private to be mentioned or discussed openly. Due to such strong cultural restrictions, some witnesses find it difficult to openly talk about sexual acts during the hearing of rape and defilement cases in court. Individuals, families and communities all use different terms to refer to the sexual organs. The DPP is now confident that the anatomic dolls will improve access to justice for children and vulnerable victims of sexual crimes.
