@@jazmynbrown6820 will men ever going to be held accountable? Whenever we bring up wrong actions by men, people like you deflect and try to blame women
@@jazmynbrown6820 How will those women fight against the same system they were raised in? You won't take into account that speaking against 'the head of the family' (the man) could make matters worse for both the mother and the child. Or the fact that they might not have been taught anything else so they don't know anything else and the cycle continues
That old man did not just stand up and say that 'if a child is not interested, then they should be decently dressed'... Like um, they're a child! Also, as a black person myself, why is he acting like our ancestors used to walk around wearing decent clothes to cover themselves? Not too long ago our ancestors walked around naked and all was well! If you're sick in the head then just say that and stop blaming young innocent children. Yuck
You want to know what's crazy? There are villages where people still walk around naked. And you don't hear this crazy story. Those men are sick and perverted and are just trying to justify their evil acts
A lot of black people here in America say this as well. I can't tell you how many black so-called brothers and sisters say this as if it makes sense in the black spaces of social media. Not surprising that the black community has an issue with SA.
This is evil and should never be considered the 'new normal'. NEVER! Children and women being systematically raped and tortured is unjust! Crucial laws need to be passed and put into place! But also families need to be forthcoming when there are predators amongst them! Even here in America family members will dismiss and ignore sexual assault within the home or extended family. Why?!!! Why harbor these predators?! When you do this, you are just as much to blame!
Am not surprised with the lack of justice.6 years ago my 5 year old daughter was defilement by my Aunt's husband.The matter was reported to Kitgum Police station and trust me even after following all the process,I never got justice up to now.i was left to nurse and care for my child who has never recovered up to now😢. Medical report showed the girl was defiled,she identified the culprit only for the PP to reject the file for lack of evidence.When we tried to get independent bodies like Human rights, Probation and child fund,the case file disappeared without a trace. Am sorry to say this but I hate the justice system of my country.😢
Heart breaking,am 27 and Ugandan .....seeing young girls pregnant with no support is the saddest thing.its not only in Uganda 🇺🇬 so many African countries are facing this due to poor systems,poverty and not senstinzing children in schools.
So u want government to support the pregnant girls or what,,,,ts responsility of parents to guard their children,, that's what hpnd if u give yo children too much freedom
Mostly all these happens in the Northern Part of every African country. Is it a curse ? The southern, eastern and western part of African country are bettee off as compared to the north and it is all the same trend. Child marriage, no education, war, rape, i mean in human behaviours..My question is why is that so . Is the Northern part of African people cursed to suffer all THROUGH and forever
I’ve been in Northern Uganda for approx 2 years and this documentary isn’t even a tip of the mess there. A few months back, I witnessed a first hand scenario where a gentleman working with Local Gov’t (LG) was looking for a man who had impregnated his 14 yr old niece. Why? He wanted to hand over the girl to the man officially for marriage. But the guy responsible for the pregnancy had escaped when he’d heard about it. LG gentleman then called police and wanted us arrested because we didn’t help him catch the guy. A very high ranking police officer showed up and to my dismay, was the origin of the “get her married the her perpetrator” idea. I thought he was joking until he said “That’s how we do our things here”. It’s then that I knew that the plight of underage girls was far from over…
And worse part has to be it even happens with developed nations. In USA, we banned abortions. Threats of passing laws to make child marriage legal. It's DISGUSTING. Wow.
9x out of ten the parents are involved if not directly they know whats going on. They are paid for their children’s innocents. It’s discussing but true , but no one wants to talk about the truth. SICK
This is so heartbreaking 💔. Someone please explain how a victim is expected to cover costs for an abuser? Is Uganda a safe place for women and children? Im ashamed to be an African.
No country in Africa is a safe place for women. Africa in general has a systemic problem of not prioritising women's rights and that exposes them to abuse
it is sad that such horrible vices still in our society. Why would you be ashamed of being an African. These things happen else where. You just need to play a part in stopping the vices in which ever way you can.
My heart goes out to all the women that are experiencing extreme oppression from the law towards fighting for their rights in regards to sexual abuse. I also pray that the criminals involved in these cases can be apprehended and face the law as stipulated. Very sad to here this my sincere sympathies to also the young women who have lost their lives in regards to such cases in Northern Uganda and to all the young teenage girls that have had to drop out of school and face very difficult life changes at an early age.
@@fin-rb3yz Frankly I don't care about gay people or what they do. I'd much rather have two men or women marrying if they want than pregnant teens with very little to no rights, period.
I personally come from Northern Uganda (Lango). Trust me in my village, a girl who is above 22 years without marriage begins getting stigmatized for over delaying to marry. Infact by 16 years, they are already encourage to look around. Its very rare for a girl to go beyond Ordinary level education. Inafct, many parents choose not to pay for the girls school fees. ....There are so many so many issues...
I can corroborate this. I'm a lango girl from Lira. And I grew up seeing most of my cousin sisters pregnant in their teens. It is so much worse than is portrayed here

Why don’t the “good” men take care of the perpetrators themselves? If none of the men are courageous enough to protect the women and children, then they do not deserve to have women and children. Perhaps the women should start deciding who exists and does not.
Recently attended a niece's wedding in Mpigi and was shocked to see a girl maybe 11 or 11yrs old breastfeeding a couple moths old baby. I was thoroughly shocked.
Disgusting! We as Africans have to stop this thing of protecting abusers to 'save face'. Both the men and women but especially MEN. If men really stood up against this, men who commit these crimes would be scared to do so! And the greedy police saying they must pay for services😡. Do they say the same for other crimes? I always wonder what would happen if a child got an std at such a young age from rape 😢. Truly infuriating!
I agree this is also a huge issue in the African American community, parents and family would rather keep things to themselves and handle it to avoid scrutiny and shame from family and community but this will never solve the problem of sexual abuse in black families
@@Msambweni The rates of sexual abuse of minors in Africa is horrific. Its many times higher than other cultures. In South Africa alone. 700 girls 10 years old, show up to hospitals pregnant every year. They are all from the African natives, there are zero 10 year olds pregnant from white or Indian community. Its really bad for African Americans too. I read a study about a native peoples, that showed over 90% of girls are molested before 10 years old. In most of cultures the numbers are like 5%. Africa has the worst human rights for pretty much everything. Women being killed by their husbands is also really high in Africa. Africa still has oppressive treatment of women and girls through FGM, child marriage and multiple wives.
This is not only sexual assault. Also teenage pregnancy are on the rise. The whole situation is very worrying. The president especially the wife of the president make the situation worse. Destroys life's. To teach girl's to say no, recognise dangers situations is very important.
@@kria9119 OH please. Every country in this world has pedophiles, whether your child is exposed or not is upto you as a parent, not the government, not mps, none of them. Be a parent
@@kria9119 completely agree, their is a lot of work for the schools and the religious leaders to become serious..at Matany hospital we always have a serious talk with the other party (men). Not supported by the government leadership
Sadly, the lowest class in society suffers the most due to corruption. Men know that they can take advantage of any girl and get away with it because the people entrusted with the power to care for the vulnerable only care about themselves and can not do anything to help. It's so painful to be Ugandan.
This is why I chose to start a TH-cam channel as an accredited journalist. To showcase the unseen, the unheard , the hidden and the unexplored.

Seriously???😭😭What has Humanity come to?? I feel so sad for these children that are abused and those brought into this world through rape attached to trauma. I pray they get the help and justice needed. May i rise up an help with this issues.
Not only in Uganda. Same happens in Kenya. It’s sad. And funny thing is the baby daddies are usually men who are already grown up. Preying on young girls. Shameeee😢
true, this happens in Uganda, my country. at times some are even forced to keep quite about it because the family is too scared to be ashamed in the community, many many threatening things are happening, generally not in the northern part only, we are also facing the worst in the west especially FORCED TEENAGE MARRIAGE. I hope BBC will also do a documentary about this and put those people out for the world to know them.
Paul ,,,I've heard your voice since I was a small boy now am a man in my forties,,But am shocked to see how young u look ,,love what u do, Amooti in BC. 😊
The most ignorant thing I heard from the police boss is that if they don’t have fuel they ask for money from the victims, that sets precedents to corruption she should be ashamed of even reasoning like that.
I am a landlord to Congolese refugees. One of my tenants 2 old women came to the us via Uganda they brought 2 young girls with them I have been working on getting their papers in order,,basically there are none. They came in via the unirc the children are shrouded in mystery their mother died. Grandmother does not have legal custody. i have hired a lawyer to help because without the paperwork they are not eligible to attend a private school where I have applied for them. Sometimes I become very frustrated! They seem not to care or want to move forward this documentary reminded me of how far apart culturally we are and gave me a new perspective thank you

@@DefMe008 this is not a problem all over the continent. I doubt that you have been to one African country, let alone “all over the continent”. Northern Uganda had a very specific conflict with respect to the Lords Resistance Army which violated, militarized and abused children.

This is actually horrific. Wish Uganda would stop the anti lgbt bs and focus on real issues like this. Why in the hell should a victim have to feed and transport their abuser? Grim.
@@toppicks6460 Real issues that are having a measurable negative impact on the future of society. Crucial issues that are impacting the future generations.
So sad. No one is talking about this. Too busy acting like everything is fine. These young girls need help. The women need to be treated as valued and respected. I don’t know the answer. I am aware now. I hope things get better soon for all of them. Bless all who shared their stories. Bless all of them who are trying to help them.
It boggles my mind how people are still religious with such harrowing stories ... no one is coming to save us, people who are constructive and have the resources need to come together to make whatever difference they can
People and generations living with traumas, sufferings and pain. Unacceptable. One day women will rise and fight those criminais, this war will be well deserved !!!
This is so evil and selfish what these men have done to the women and children! My heart is so angry and saddened, but I admire those working against this and speaking out, they are so very brave. They need laws that are enforced to protect and prevent more victims. if they don't, in anger I sometimes think there should be a worldwide night of the shears. But anger is not the way, ever. I hope they can overcome this evil.
Effects of prolonged war, the length lock down just made things worse. School is a safe place for girls, now imagine having girls at home for two years, terrible.
What a horrifying exposé. When I see similar threads weaving through similar issues across Africa,I wonder why we've become this comfortable with these despicable status quos. Where's our humanity Africa?
The situation makes me sick and breaks my heart. Defilement is a very serious problem in Northern Uganda and other parts of the country. We have laws yet they are not enforced. We have leaders and yet they steal from the public. Everything is upside down in Uganda. When we will see change, God only knows..
Bad governance coupled with rampant corruption that continue to affect every aspect of life are the paramount factors responsible for this destitution of the downtrodden.
@@michaelthevisionary yes its due to BAD GOVERNANCE.....black male leaders cant govern.....useless leaders...all they know is chasing after the LGBT......
At this point I think the government doesn’t want these people to prosper because this makes no sense. I’m just thankful for the people trying to help because this situation would make anyone fed up and depressed. They are just creating generations of economic and societal struggle, especially for these young girls
Oh lord save my motherland and the victims get justice...thx bbc team and all those working hard day in and day out to better other lives, yr appreciated😊
First off this is beyond sad. This may be a cultural thing but for me the term 'defilement' trivialises the evil that is being done. There is no simple solution. The government, society and most importantly the parents have to do their part to stop this. Btw this happens in other countries though probably to a lesser degree.

well said. all man kind not Africans only
@@philipnyebaza9943 yes but RIGHT NOW, we are talking about ugandan men ......NOT ALL MAN.... you are part of the problem....
I agree this is also a huge issue in the African American community, parents and family would rather keep things to themselves and handle it to avoid scrutiny and shame from family and community but this will never solve the problem of sexual abuse in black families
What do you mean as Africans? You act like we are somehow an exception to humanity
@@Msambweni The rates of sexual abuse of minors in Africa is horrific. Its many times higher than other cultures. In South Africa alone. 700 girls 10 years old, show up to hospitals pregnant every year. They are all from the African natives, there are zero 10 year olds pregnant from white or Indian community.
Its really bad for African Americans too. I read a study about a native peoples, that showed over 90% of girls are molested before 10 years old.
In most of cultures the numbers are like 5%. Africa has the worst human rights for pretty much everything. Women being killed by their husbands is also really high in Africa. Africa still has oppressive treatment of women and girls through FGM, child marriage and multiple wives.
This is not only sexual assault. Also teenage pregnancy are on the rise. The whole situation is very worrying. The president especially the wife of the president make the situation worse. Destroys life's. To teach girl's to say no, recognise dangers situations is very important.
Ugandans with tying everything to the president! How is he supposed to help you parent your children?
Perhaps to teach MEN to say no to themselves?? Incest with an underage girl and you put the weight of the issue on the girl? Please.
@@kria9119 OH please. Every country in this world has pedophiles, whether your child is exposed or not is upto you as a parent, not the government, not mps, none of them. Be a parent
@@kria9119 completely agree, their is a lot of work for the schools and the religious leaders to become serious..at Matany hospital we always have a serious talk with the other party (men). Not supported by the government leadership
I’m sure most of these girls do say no. Your ignorant to believe all these girls partook in these events willingly like cmon. Let’s be real here.
I’m a man but hate some men so much.
Why do this to teens. 😭😭😭😭
*children
It is about control
Sadly, the lowest class in society suffers the most due to corruption. Men know that they can take advantage of any girl and get away with it because the people entrusted with the power to care for the vulnerable only care about themselves and can not do anything to help. It's so painful to be Ugandan.
How can a parents left an 8yrs all alone? This kind of parents needs punishment as well. Poor baby.
"The younger the mother the more the complications...". Sad reality.....
I hate when those devils who defile young girls justify their acts with the fact that young girls dress indecently.... u serious 😢😢😢 shame on u
Half of them only have the rags they stand up in
This is why I chose to start a TH-cam channel as an accredited journalist. To showcase the unseen, the unheard , the hidden and the unexplored. Thanks BBC for being a mentor, an inspiration and a motivation for the whole society, a source of joy, hope, peace, laughter and happiness. My channel name is finding ian.

I'd also like you to highlight the darker side of Kenya too. As someone who lived in Kenya for 2 years, there's a lot of dark sides of Kenya too, especially Nairobi
Mkuu uko huku 😅
@@loughrey101 maybe if I work with a media company I will ..but for my vlogs it's impossible
Wait. You have to pay for justice? This is heartbreaking!!
That's story of LRA forcing son to sleep with mother ....I felt sick to my stomach ..I puked😢
This is sickening, appalling, heart breaking. This has me so upset😢😢😢😢
Seriously???😭😭What has Humanity come to?? I feel so sad for these children that are abused and those brought into this world through rape attached to trauma. I pray they get the help and justice needed. May i rise up an help with this issues.
Not only in Uganda. Same happens in Kenya. It’s sad. And funny thing is the baby daddies are usually men who are already grown up. Preying on young girls. Shameeee😢
true, this happens in Uganda, my country.
at times some are even forced to keep quite about it because the family is too scared to be ashamed in the community, many many threatening things are happening, generally not in the northern part only, we are also facing the worst in the west especially FORCED TEENAGE MARRIAGE. I hope BBC will also do a documentary about this and put those people out for the world to know them.
WHERE IS MUSEVENI ???? LOL....or maybe he can only tackle gay issues !!🤣
@@fin-rb3yz right wingers world wide are going after the lgbt community in order to distract their people from corruption and authoritarianism
This is so heartbreaking, I can't stop crying.
Paul ,,,I've heard your voice since I was a small boy now am a man in my forties,,But am shocked to see how young u look ,,love what u do, Amooti in BC. 😊
Thank you Paul for highlighting such social injustices 😮
The most ignorant thing I heard from the police boss is that if they don’t have fuel they ask for money from the victims, that sets precedents to corruption she should be ashamed of even reasoning like that.
SO ARROGANT POLICE COMMANDER
This is prevalent in most African countries including Nigeria
This is unfathomably evil.
This is happening in South Africa right now! And we are not at War
You ask yourself very many questions. How could a man have sex with a four year old kid???!!!!! Abasajja olemwa!
Can’t believe this is still happening. So the government can’t protect its people? Really sad
We are government us all let’s try
Uganda is such a beautiful country, what an atrocity that abuser's treat the vulnerable in this way.
beautiful country ??? !!!!!! ok......lol
@@fin-rb3yz The flora and fauna. B4 u make disparaging comments use a little brain power, fin
I am so sorry to the victims.
It's a shame to Africa.
I can't watch past five minutes. So painful
This is the saddest story I have ever watched. My heart goes out to the woman. How can you feed a prisoner? 😢
the Ugandan people and their museveni's priority are gay people in consenting relationships....and not this....lol....
This is a depressing state of affairs.
Am literally feeling shivers down my spine as I watch this...what has the girl child done so bad to go through this??
I'm augandan musician and activist looking at this makes me shade tears ...oh mama Ugandan what did we do wrong?
Keeping M7 in power is what we did wrong 😢😢😢
you did not do anything wrong as you bro. good you are a musician and activist, you have where to start to save the already changing situation.
I am a landlord to Congolese refugees. One of my tenants 2 old women came to the us via Uganda they brought 2 young girls with them I have been working on getting their papers in order,,basically there are none. They came in via the unirc the children are shrouded in mystery their mother died. Grandmother does not have legal custody. i have hired a lawyer to help because without the paperwork they are not eligible to attend a private school where I have applied for them. Sometimes I become very frustrated! They seem not to care or want to move forward this documentary reminded me of how far apart culturally we are and gave me a new perspective thank you
I pray for all these women and for you to have the courage to help many more
Why are these girls forced to carry these fetuses to term, when it is so hard on their bodies and may cost them their life. This is sad.
This story is so horrifying. The irony is the minister of justice in the acholi region is called "Grace Freedom" 😢
🙈 The irony could almost be viewed as sarcasm
I had no idea these things were happening to these poor little girls. This broke my heart so bad
The problem is the government it doesn’t care ☝🏿
NOT TRUE
@@toppicks6460 Very true and you know that
@@kelvinheartsug8172 Define "the government doesnt care" what do you mean by that? Just because there are weaknesses in the system doesnt necessarily mean there's lack of care... also who is the government?
@@toppicks6460 High Levels of Corruption Freedom of Expression and Assembly. ets
@@kelvinheartsug8172 I do see where you are coming from...
I am in tears. What an evil!
Sad for me, Uganda have no compelling laws of defilement cases. Police vehicles are fueled by the victims who seek justice??
No,they are fueled by government but misuse and corruption
Check ulii for all our lawd...don't be deceived that Uganda has bit tried. It is complicated because of the history in that region
This is heart wrenching 😭😭😭
Someone defiles your kid,you fuel the police car to get them arrested,then feed them police cells. This is just siiick and breaking,for lack of a better phrase!
Dear God. Bless those who are helping this society. Justice for the children.
This is so disgusting and annoying.
What is making men do these. I somehow feel that people's mental health needs to be put in check at this ponit.
The people who commit these crimes shiuld be arrested as well.
Arrested for how long? Released for how much? Sentenced when?
This is a problem bedeviling almost every African country. I think Legislators need to put tough laws on perpetrators. This is beyond sadness. What kind of society are we moulding for future generation? Absurd!
No this is not a problem bedeviling every African country. There was a war in Northern Uganda that is the context of these atrocities
FMG IN AFRICA
@@naliaka9318 KENYA and mad PREACHERs.
@@naliaka9318Stop minimizing this problem. It is a problem all over the continent. A major problem that isn’t being fixed.
@@DefMe008 this is not a problem all over the continent. I doubt that you have been to one African country, let alone “all over the continent”. Northern Uganda had a very specific conflict with respect to the Lords Resistance Army which violated, militarized and abused children.
Never let your child out of your sight.
May every women impacted by these horrific crimes find themselves again 🙏 Women are beautiful, loving, intelligent and powerful beings. You may stray from your path but there will always be way to find it, starting with that first small step.
This is actually horrific. Wish Uganda would stop the anti lgbt bs and focus on real issues like this. Why in the hell should a victim have to feed and transport their abuser? Grim.
This 👆🏿
there are laws bt people don't report those cases cz most of them are given away by there parents to start early marriage
All issues will be handled.
Who defines REAL ISSUES?
@@toppicks6460 Real issues that are having a measurable negative impact on the future of society. Crucial issues that are impacting the future generations.
15:42 - 15:53 that really made me tear up. I felt for the mother and imagined what she must have felt.
May they find peace
There is no justice in Uganda! This is disturbing
This is nothing short of a curse.
The world is cursed. There is so much unrest and evil. Men need to worship women and protect children. Our world is backwards.
agreed. Africa just can't get it right or a break. no other explanation tbh
Brilliant and brave reporting. Thank you.
I don’t really have words rn 💔💔.
So sad. No one is talking about this. Too busy acting like everything is fine.
These young girls need help. The women need to be treated as valued and respected.
I don’t know the answer.
I am aware now.
I hope things get better soon for all of them.
Bless all who shared their stories. Bless all of them who are trying to help them.
It boggles my mind how people are still religious with such harrowing stories ... no one is coming to save us, people who are constructive and have the resources need to come together to make whatever difference they can
Thanks everyone. am in the middle of all these. tough world
what kind of a parent leaves a 10-12 year fend for themselves this world is harsh for innocence
Our African societies are so so broken beyond repair. These are the things that get us looked down on from other races. Good Lord!
Spot on😢
She says ‘it difficult to enforce’ and then she smirks - a whole woman talking about child defilement. What’s wrong with that picture?
People and generations living with traumas, sufferings and pain. Unacceptable. One day women will rise and fight those criminais, this war will be well deserved !!!
Who bailed the attacker out of jail?
This is very sad. Men don't know that their duty in life is to protect women and children 😢
And my countrymen foolishly think gays and lesbians are our problems! What a waste of energy!
This is so evil and selfish what these men have done to the women and children! My heart is so angry and saddened, but I admire those working against this and speaking out, they are so very brave. They need laws that are enforced to protect and prevent more victims. if they don't, in anger I sometimes think there should be a worldwide night of the shears. But anger is not the way, ever. I hope they can overcome this evil.
Effects of prolonged war, the length lock down just made things worse. School is a safe place for girls, now imagine having girls at home for two years, terrible.
What a horrifying exposé. When I see similar threads weaving through similar issues across Africa,I wonder why we've become this comfortable with these despicable status quos. Where's our humanity Africa?
Is this a normal practice across africa?
@@rackin9594 no it's an un normal practice in America Europe Africa and the Middle East as well as anywhere else that men exist
The situation makes me sick and breaks my heart. Defilement is a very serious problem in Northern Uganda and other parts of the country. We have laws yet they are not enforced. We have leaders and yet they steal from the public. Everything is upside down in Uganda. When we will see change, God only knows..
THE WHOLE OF AFRICA
Bad governance coupled with rampant corruption that continue to affect every aspect of life are the paramount factors responsible for this destitution of the downtrodden.
It's almost a problem of every African country.
@@michaelthevisionary yes its due to BAD GOVERNANCE.....black male leaders cant govern.....useless leaders...all they know is chasing after the LGBT......
I was diffiled too but i thankGod i managed to ran away from home moved to another country thats how i was able to forget this bad days of my life
Very sorry to hear this! Thank you for sharing. 🙏
I am sorry it happened to you. All the best to you.
At this point I think the government doesn’t want these people to prosper because this makes no sense. I’m just thankful for the people trying to help because this situation would make anyone fed up and depressed. They are just creating generations of economic and societal struggle, especially for these young girls
I couldn't watch past 12 minutes. I feel sick, this is horrendous. And people say we don't need feminism anymore.
How evil can u be to demand someone's life or sleep with their mum. I pray the evil truly suffer for their crimes times infinity
😢😢😢😢this is so heartbreaking 😭 I can't stop crying, asking my self whether justice will ever be served 😭
Oh lord save my motherland and the victims get justice...thx bbc team and all those working hard day in and day out to better other lives, yr appreciated😊
I don't care what law they want to uphold, but this should be dealt with immediately 😮😮😮
“The war was fought in the body of the woman and the woman became the battlefield “
The child needs justice!!! the step dad should be jailed for life😢
First off this is beyond sad.
This may be a cultural thing but for me the term 'defilement' trivialises the evil that is being done. There is no simple solution. The government, society and most importantly the parents have to do their part to stop this.
Btw this happens in other countries though probably to a lesser degree.
