A society built on a family scale is the best guarantee against drifting into individualism or collectivism, because within the family the person is always at the centre of attention as an end and never as a means. It is patently clear that the good of persons and the proper functioning of society are closely connected “with the healthy state of conjugal and family His Grace Dr. Cyprian Kizito Lwanga ArchBishop Kampala Arch Diocese life” (Cfr.

This is because domestic violence erodes the family which is the basic foundation of any society and state. At this juncture, I would like to acknowledge and congratulate the Justice and Peace Department of Kampala Archdiocese for their interventions aimed at combatting human rights violations including Domestic Violence. This has stimulated action and advocacy by the Archdiocese to undertake preventive and responsive measuresin the parishesto advocate for the gender equity. The Justice and Peace Department (J&P AOK) works also closelywith cultural structures to curb domestic violence given that culture has a role in the promotion of harmony in homes. Other mechanisms adopted by the Justice and Peace Department to address domestic violence include an approach like community dialogue from which they have developed a cultural sensitive model to counseling both perpetrators and victims of violence in homes and communities... Uganda being a culturally diverse countrywith each ethnic group attaching importance to their own traditional values and norms, the Archdiocese acknowledged the importance of building on culture to ensure justice and peace in families. Consequently, the J&P AOK through a consultative process developed a Cultural Sensitive Counseling Model for curbing domestic violence.

SSEKANDI** * This is the text of an address delivered at the Law Development Centre in Kampala, Uganda in July 1979, barely three months after the Ugandan Liberation Forces, composed of exiles and led by the Tanzania Defence Forces, booted Idi Amin out of Uganda. An interim government led by Yusufu Lule had assumed office and there was a lively debate in the air on the future of the Ugandan Constitution. Historically, Uganda was ruled by the British as a Protectorate, from 1890 with a measure of internal autonomy for the inhabitants, through a series of "treaties" with the kings of the territories from which Uganda was carved. Thus, on attainment of independence in 1962, the country emerged as a federation of its constituent parts.
