The Supreme Court Bar Association issued statements expressing disappointment over the collegium's selection process that consistently overlooks qualified female judges.
Historical data reveal that women comprise merely 3.8 percent of all Supreme Court appointments since 1950. High courts across the nation demonstrate...

A BBC investigation identified Charles Mwesigwa as the operator of a sex trafficking network targeting vulnerable Ugandan women in Dubai. The former London bus driver charges clients starting at $1,000 per woman while forcing victims into extreme sexual acts against their will. Women believed they would work legitimate jobs in supermarkets and hotels before discovering the true nature of their employment. Two Ugandan women linked to Mwesigwa died after falling from Dubai apartment buildings, with deaths ruled as suicides despite family concerns about inadequate police investigations. Mwesigwa denies operating an illegal prostitution ring and claims he merely connects wealthy clients with women at parties.
