    #BBCAfricaEye investigates a shocking rise in child sexual abuse and incest in northern Uganda and discovers that justice often comes at a price. Subscribe: www.youtube.com/bbcafrica In the wake of the pandemic, reports emerged from Uganda of a 300% increase in girls aged 10 -14 becoming pregnant. Sexual violence has been further fuelled in the north by the traumatic legacy of a 20-year insurgency led by notorious warlord Joseph Kony. At Gulu Regional Hospital, a quarter of babies are born to girls below the age of consent, and cases of sexual abuse of girls as young as three are being reported. Scant resources and alleged police corruption means that justice often comes at a price. *** Africa Eye brings you original, investigative journalism revealing secrets and rooting out injustice in the world’s most complex and exciting continent.
