Where Dignity Is a Given, Not a Goal
A witness by Rose Busingye, founder of Meeting Point International, an NGO in Uganda, moderated by Mark Danner, an international security and risk management consultant
In the 1990s, Rose Busingye began working in the slums of Kampala with women suffering from HIV/AIDS. Many of them were refugees from civil war, having been raped, beaten, and forced to kill in order not to be killed. Even though Rose brought food and medicine to them, she often discovered that the women had not taken their medications, so sunk were they in despair and a lack of self-worth. She was on the verge of abandoning everything when she received an invitation from Fr. Luigi Giussani to stay for some time in Italy. After those months spent in Milan, she returned to Uganda with a renewed desire to share with these women what she herself had experienced: the infinite value of her life. Of every life.
