Uganda: The women stripping to defend their land

A group of elderly Ugandan women made headlines in April when they stripped before government ministers in a protest over land rights.

The women say the government plans to evict them as well as thousands of others from their ancestral lands - a claim the authorities deny.

It is one example of the many disputes over land that have emerged in northern Uganda since the end of the Lord's Resistance Army civil war.
