Rebecca came to the UK in 2005 to escape problems with her father when she was eight months pregnant. Before coming to the UK, Rebecca has faced many difficulties. In 1985 when she was only seven years old, Rebecca's mother was killed. Her mother had been active in the Uganda People's Congress (UPC), a socialist party that made up the Ugandan government before it was overthrown in a military coup in 1985. Rebecca does not know who killed her mother. It could have been rebels fighting the UPC government for the reinstatement of the Bugunda Kingdom as her mother was living in the same region, but Rebecca also thinks there is a strong possibility her father killed her mother.

The Human Rights situation in Uganda continues to deteriorate with further breakdowns in the fragile peace process.
