APAC resident district commissioner Mary Owor has advised women to join Amuka, a local
militia group, to boost UPDF efforts to end the 18-year-old Lord's Resistance Army
(LRA) rebellion in the north
Addressing district leaders recently, Owor said women had the same opportunities as
men to join any security organisation.
She urged them to join the military to ensure the return of peace to the region.
She however cautioned men to desist from harassing their female counterparts.

Amuka personnel," Owor said.
