UNFPA ESARO | Cast from her home: fourteen-year-old girl rejects mother's demands to marry man aged 35

ABIM DISTRICT, Northern Uganda – Fourteen-year-old Ruth* dreams of becoming a pilot, but last year she discovered her mother's plans to marry her off – to a man more than twice her age. This spelled disaster for her aspirations, as girls who marry while in school usually fall pregnant and drop out, ending their education and jeopardising their health.

‘Sex for a fare’ motorcycle taxis threaten Uganda’s fight against Aids
UGANDA’S motorcycle taxis riders threaten to derail the country’s fight against HIV because of risky sexual behaviours, including sex with clients in lieu of payment, according to a new study.
By Samuel Okiror
At least 12% of a sample of 281 commercial riders, a common informal job known as boda boda and dominated by young men, admitted to engaging in transactional sex with customers who failed to pay their fares; 65.7% reported having had sex with more than one partner in the past 12 months; and 23% had had multiple partners in the same period, with 57.1% reporting that they did not use a condom at all in the six months prior to the survey, conducted by Makerere University College of Education and External Studies (CEES).

At some landing sites, which are usually a beehive of activity, there is no business going on.
Sector players are blaming the situation on the ongoing mass death of fish, particularly the Nile Perch, which has left the lake with no stock. This has also pushed the fish prices high.
Currently, a kilogramme of Nile Perch sells between Shs14,000 and Shs16,000 at various fish markets in most urban centres, up from Shs12,000  a month ago,   while Tilapia costs  Shs12,000 compared to  Shs7,000  a month ago .

Thursday briefing: Donald Trump – 'a danger to America'

House speaker Nancy Pelosi signs the article of impeachment condemning Donald Trump for ‘inciting insurrection’.
Morning everyone. This is Martin Farrer and these are the top stories this Thursday morning.
Donald Trump has become the first US president to be impeached twice after the House of Representatives voted to send him for trial in the Senate on charges of inciting insurrection in last week’s Capitol riot. The House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, said Trump was a “clear and present danger to the nation we all love” as she presided over a 232 to 197 vote that included 10 Republicans in the yes camp. Their desertion of the party leader made the vote the most bipartisan impeachment verdict in history but Mitch McConnell, the outgoing Senate majority leader, said there was “simply no chance” of concluding a trial in the upper house before Trump leaves office next week. The trial will therefore begin once Joe Biden is inaugurated on Wednesday and will require a two-thirds majority in the Senate to convict Trump. Senators would then conduct a simple majority vote to bar him from running for office again. Trump later released a video statement condemning the violence but did not mention his impeachment. Security in Washington has been stepped up again before Biden’s big day with the National Guard encamped in the capital.
