Tears of Hope

Ayeta Anne Wangusa

This book of true stories will shock you and make you angry. Eight Ugandan women describe their experiences of physical abuse and the violation of their human rights. You will be inspired by their courage and determination to seek justice for themselves and their children in a society where women are little more than chattels to be used and thrown away.
