The day London remembered northern Uganda

GuluWalk is focused on supporting the abandoned children of northern Uganda. Even if there is peace tomorrow, there is so much more we can do to raise our voices for peace and to be a partner in the future of the Acholi children. The original GuluWalk started with just two people in July of 2005 and has now grown into a worldwide movement for peace. GuluWalk was inspired by the gripping tale of the 'night commuters' and while the night commuting has stopped, the need to promote peace and step forward for these abandoned children has not.

In northern Uganda, children have been caught in the crossfire of a 21-year civil war. They are kidnapped by rebels and forced to fight — both against government soldiers, and their own communities.

They are beaten, mutilated, raped and forced to commit atrocities, often against their own families
