Item Increased Women Trafficking in Uganda; Analyzing the Domestic and International Legal Framework(2010-10) Muganga, George; Natuhwera, Alex.; Tukwasiibwe, MosesThis paper explores the various legal frameworks that deal with issues of women trafficking in Uganda. In recent years, there has been much media attention and increased law reform efforts to address the phenomenon of trafficking of women for mainly purposes of sexual exploitation. The arguments of this paper explore the nexus between lack of a strong legal regime and the increased women trafficking in Uganda. This has culminated into vulnerable young women from developing regions of the world, Uganda inclusive, being traded in open market as if there are no sanctions in the law against this outrageous practice. We also try to navigate through the international Conventions, ratified by Uganda, to ascertain whether or not Uganda has domesticated them into her national laws or ensured their execution as a way of combating the problem of trafficking.
