ABSTRACT
The study, ~n analysis on the protection of women against sexual abuse under the Domestic
Violence act of Uganda 2010, on the era of HIV/AIDS", was carried out to determine Act
3/201 0' s efficiency on offering the women, as one of the marginalized and most vulnerable
group a tangible solution to the problem, particularly in Makindye division.
Owing to historical, cultural/traditional, religious, legal among other factors responsible for the
unequal power relations within the family, violence against women in such a male dominated
society, IS hardly publicized, noticed and punished, thereby leaving its victims exposed to
personal sexual gratification of their attackers, whose actions seem to be condemned by the state
through its acts or emissions in convicting such impunity.
Sexual abuse in its different forms and intensity, just take over violence against women at the
hands of family members, it usually shrouded in secrecy, denial and is considered in "private
matter" not warranting state intervention. Though de facto of its victims' human rights to self
worth/dignity sexual and health integrity besides increased exposure to HIV I AIDs as a result of
such sexual abuse appears to have been addressed by the law, there are still many cases of
domestic violence against women reported in the media at the police and other law enforcement
agents in an attempt to obtain legal protection against their abusers!
Therefore, in such an environment where culture and religion are so much entrenched with stereo
typed notions of male domination of women in Makin dye Division and high HIV I AIDS in
section rate, this qualitative study involved various data collection methods including individual
and or group interviews; books, articles, newspapers, reports, electronic media etc as respective
primary and secondary sources of data.
