Dear friends, As we continue to share updates from Isis-WICCE Peace Exposition in Lango sub-region, here is a sad story of a 30-year-old mother of five from Kole was beaten by her husband using a goat which she had proposed to sell to raise school fees for their daughter in Primary two. Ms Judith Pole recalls that on September 8, her husband who has since disappeared from the village, came back home drunk and picked the goat which he used to beat her, arguing that she did not have authority over it. Ms Pole is now in a sad condition. She cannot sleep on her back because of the wounds she sustained there, her buttocks, thighs and legs. She cannot sit or walk. Isis-WICCE team found her in Pentecostal Assembly of God Health Centre in Lira District where she was admitted and she is paralyzed from her lower limbs downwards.
