By Nankwanga Eunice Kasirye When Love Turns Violent: "The Night I Lost My Baby—and My Womb" Adriane “… He kicked me in the stomach. I remember the pain—sharp, tearing, immediate—before everything went silent. I crashed against the edge of the table, and then darkness swallowed me whole. The next thing I knew, I was on a hospital bed, a blood transfusion drip trailing from my arm. My head was pounding like thunder in a storm. I didn’t know where I was or what had happened. Then I heard my sister’s voice, trembling but soft, calling my name. She stroked my arm, her eyes red with tears. That’s when she told me: I had lost my baby... and my womb. The doctors had done everything to save me, but I had lost too much blood . ” she relays her pain Adriane is a survivor of violence against women. And one of the few brave enough to tell her story. Her pain didn’t begin with a punch. It started with words. Small ones. Repeated ones. Disguised as love. “It began with him complainin...

Mura Cried Until He Died (A reflection on stigma and silence in the fight against HIV/AIDS) By Nankwanga Eunice Kasirye Mura (pseudo name) was a young man from my village—almost an age-mate to my older brother, whom I follow. He was built like a wrestler, all muscle and motion, with a pouncing gait that made him look like he was always ready for a duel. Dark-skinned, barely 19, and bursting with life, Mura was known for his love of path-side fights, the kind that drew teenage boys together like moths to a flame. His peers respected him—not because he was feared, but because he was rarely beaten. He stood his ground. School was never his thing. He showed up now and then, more out of obligation than interest. But if you were looking for him, you were more likely to find him at the village water-well—an ever-bubbling hub of community chatter—or wandering the winding footpaths that sliced through the village greenery. The well stood on his mother’s land. I never saw his father, nor hear...

IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW SLOW YOU MOVE_KEEP MOVING FOWARD ...If you cant fly then Run- If you cant run then Walk- If you cant walk then Crawl-But whatever you do, you must keep moving foward-Martin Luther King,Jr. It is okay to look back and see how far you have come, but the principle is to keep moving foward... Learn from the failures and keep moving foward...for failure is a bend in the road not the end of the road. Real change is difficult at the beginning. Without the familiar to rely upon, you may not in as much command as you had once been. When things are not going your way, you will start doubting yourself. Stay positive, keep the faith, and keep moving forward – your breakthrough may be just around the corner-Roy T. Bennett Never give up hope... One day, you'll look back on everything you've been through and thank God for it. Life is about how much you can take and keep fighting, how much you can suffer and keep moving forward.

Opinion: Ministry of Education, be pro-active for once and do your work by Watchdog Uganda 8th November 2018 at 11:54 in News , Voices Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Related Posts OPINION: Prof. Apolo Nsibambi always lamented Uganda’s arrested development as a nation Out To Lunch: Lessons for government from Liverpool’s victory Sudan: Who is Hemeti, commander of protest cracking Rapid Support Forces? By Eunice Nankwanga Kasirye What is on my mind are the children, countrywide, who keep missing out on their Uganda National Examinations at all levels because school directors did not remit their registration fees to Uganda National Examination Board (UNEB). In reaction to the unfortunate incidences, UNEB says pupils who missed exams could register to write next year papers. Meanwhile, directors who are probably still on run should be apprehended for prosecution. UNEB, also cautioned parents to a...

Women’s Day: Maternity leave is a constitutional right, not a favor by watchdog 6th March 2019 at 10:03 in Business , News , Op-Ed A colleague of mine lost her job five years back after she left for maternity leave. Without any clear reason, she was told to go back home and wait in case anything in her line of expertise comes up. She was replaced just like that; very heart breaking as you could imagine for a single mother. Ketra, (not her real names) had been one of the senior staff in the organization before her maternity leave. Good at figures, she overturned the messed financial books of the organisation during the three years she worked for with them. She had postponed motherhood to accumulate her academic proficiency. Therefore at the time she decided to have a child, she was 29 years old. She is now 35 years but she has not had another child for fear of losing her new job. It took her two solid years to get stable employment after the terminat...

By Nankwanga Eunice Kasirye E very one desire to belong, to have a family, an identity and a culture to love and be loved back; that is what makes humanity meaningful. A lot of people work toward attaining a sense of belonging and that makes life a struggle worthy to take on.With hope, it becomes beautiful to work your life goals among people you call your own, a community you share a culture with and neighbors you laugh and frown with and a geographical area you call your home identity.A wild you are familiar with;A flock you call your own;The true meaning of life. But when natural disasters hit… such is gone in a brief but harsh moment;identities wash away;neighborhoods disappear;ancestral graveyards washed off and people die;Bodies disappear in rubble;traditional sacred places vanish with the ruins; birds and animals helplessly die.Like one abandoned in the middle of nowhere. So many years and generational struggles gone, all that is left is a life with no h...
