This work has been anchored on the realization that issues of victimhood are a national concern and different regions tasted violence of different magnitudes, and thus, building and strengthening inter-regional synergies and collaboration in the pursuit of Transitional Justice (TJ) for victims will help amplify their voices further. To better undertake solid TJ advocacy, and in a bid to consolidate RFPJ&#8217;s presence and work in Northern Uganda, in March 2024, RFPJ opened up an office in Northern Uganda, locate along Aciro Nancy Road, Anaka Town Council, Nwoya District. The office is headed by a Human Rights Assistant who reports directly to the Head Office in Fort Portal. Through this physical office, RFPJ is now able to contextualize TJ issues, leverage on the existing TJ infrastructure to engage the right stakeholders, and address regional-specific TJ issues. At RFPJ, this development signals growth and expansion and the Board and Secretariat are so grateful for this journey of growth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>By: Twesige Emmanuel<\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHOTO: A team comprising of RFPJ Board members, Staff and victims of the ADF war on their maiden visit to the newly opened RFPJ Office in Anaka Town Council, Nwoya [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9874","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"wpcf_dashboard":"<div class=\"woocommerce\"><div class=\"woocommerce-info\">Please log in first? <a class=\"wpneoShowLogin\" href=\"#\">Click here to login<\/a><\/div><div class=\"wpneo_login_form_div\" style=\"display: none;\"><form name=\"loginform\" id=\"loginform\" action=\"https:\/\/rfpjuganda.org\/wp-login.php\" method=\"post\"><p class=\"login-username\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_login\">Username or Email Address<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"log\" id=\"user_login\" autocomplete=\"username\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p><p class=\"login-password\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_pass\">Password<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"password\" name=\"pwd\" id=\"user_pass\" autocomplete=\"current-password\" spellcheck=\"false\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p><p class=\"login-remember\"><label><input name=\"rememberme\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"rememberme\" value=\"forever\" \/> Remember Me<\/label><\/p><p class=\"login-submit\">\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" name=\"wp-submit\" id=\"wp-submit\" class=\"button button-primary\" value=\"Log In\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect_to\" value=\"https:\/\/rfpjuganda.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpages%2F9874\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p><\/form><\/div><\/div>","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":10233,"url":"https:\/\/rfpjuganda.org\/?page_id=10233","url_meta":{"origin":9874,"position":0},"title":"Communiques","author":"admin","date":"November 17, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Communique on the Women's Convention on Ending Child Marriage and Teenage Pregnancy in the Rwenzori Region (December, 2021) Open FileCommunique on the Women's Convention on Ending Gender Biases in the Rwenzori Region (March, 2022) Open FileCommunique on the Women's Convention on Ending Violence Against Women and Girls in the Rwenzori\u2026","rel":"","context":"Similar post","block_context":{"text":"Similar post","link":""},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":9869,"url":"https:\/\/rfpjuganda.org\/?page_id=9869","url_meta":{"origin":9874,"position":1},"title":"Current Projects","author":"admin","date":"September 14, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Supporting an inclusive Transitional Justice process through victim- and community-led interventions Supported by the International Centre for Transitional Justice (ICTJ), this project, overall, seeks to enhance advocacy efforts for reparations, promote healing and justice and empower survivors and victims of past violent conflicts in the Rwenzori region.
