She was speaking during the public dialogue and the launch of Kios project at the district headquarters last Thursday.

The Kios project, funded by Finland’s organisation for human rights, will help Rukoola women to sensitise their communities on bad cultural practices like widow inheritance, wife battering and early marriages.
