"Northern Uganda presents a situation of extraordinary violation of the rights of children"

- Carol Bellamy

About this Quote

This quote by Carol Bellamy is referring to the situation in Northern Uganda, where children have been subjected to severe human rights infractions. This consists of the kidnapping of children by the Lord's Resistance Army, who have actually forced them to end up being child soldiers, along with the displacement of countless children from their houses due to the dispute. These children have undergone physical and mental abuse, and have actually been denied access to fundamental needs such as food, water, and education. This quote acts as a pointer of the alarming scenario in Northern Uganda, and the immediate need to attend to the human rights violations that are occurring there. It is a call to action to ensure that the rights of these children are respected and safeguarded, and that they are provided with the needed resources to lead safe and healthy lives.
