The Director of Public Prosecutions Jane Frances Abodo has  launched the construction of a super structure which will among others house the rehabilitation center and vocational institute for the children.

The children include victims of child sacrifice, trafficking in children and those of gender based violence including physical and sexual violence.

Justice Abodo launched the said construction as she visited Kyampisi Childcare Ministries in Mukono District under the leadership of Mr. Peter Sewakiryanga that currently houses the said children. 

She further  toured Weema Clinic where the children are  treated, and Rock Hill Christian Primary School where they study.

Parents of some of the victims expressed their pain and trauma arising from the aforementioned crimes and pleaded for fair and speedy disposal of their cases in a bid to avoid re-traumatizing them in the later stages of their lives. 

The DPP pledged to passionately handle the cases and ensure that they are fast tracked through special sessions; funds permitting. 

She further encouraged the parents to cooperate with the Office of the DPP by attending court to testify in their matters.
