CHILDREN RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

When Ann's husband died little did she know it was the start of her darkest part of life. Everything was forcefully taken from her including land tittle deed, household goods and land.
One of her inlaws was chosen to inherit her since in their community it was believed that a woman is a property that has no right of it's own. When she refused, her house was burned down and she fled to her parental home with her children.
Her brothers decided to help her with her five daughters, the children were to stop going to school and  be employed as maids or getting married. The widow was confused and did not know what to do or where to go. One day she heard about an organization called  REEP which  has it's officers at Butula. She was suprised to get that she was not the only one  with almost the same problem.
 The center handles all the paragal cases including human rights that affects children women and men. Ann was helped to get back her property. she is now staying at her marital home and the organization is assisting her in educating her children. Her inlaw escaped after realising he was to be arrested. Now Ann has started poultry farming and she's the chief supplies of indigenous eggs in the area.
