FDC asks women to tie themselves on trees

 

Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) has asked the women of Uganda to tie themselves on trees at the NGO Forum (Kabalagala) head offices in solidarity with the mothers who are caring for children with nodding disease.

The mysterious nodding disease invaded northern Uganda and it has already claimed several lives and dozens of others are admitted in hospitals in critical condition.

The FDC women leader Ingrid Turinawe says that the women should tie themselves as a symbol of the indignity women have had to face as they tie their nodding children to trees in Northern Uganda.

She says that even men are free to join the women in the campaign to untie Uganda from all the ills that have plagued our nation. “Come join us as we declare – no to indignity, to suffering, to corruption, to all the other things that we want to untie our country from. Come to the NGO Forum,” she says.
