  • “Even with one Man, but with many women, you can get cervical cancer”

    Open AccessRobert Bulamba, Fred Nalugoda et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Cervical cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality among women in low-resource settings, with Uganda being disproportionately affected. Despite the availability of screening services in Uganda, uptake remains unacceptably low, yet population-level data on women’s perceptions and experienced barriers to screening remain limited. This hinders the development of targeted community-based interventions for cervical cancer scr…

Multivariable linear …

  • Healing and Resilience after Trauma (HaRT) Yoga

    Namy, Sophie Namy et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Work Practice2022

    Human trafficking violates fundamental rights and undermines lifelong well-being for survivors. There is an urgent need for evidence-based interventions for women and girls who have been trafficked, including those that can be implemented in low-resource settings. In this paper, we describe the purpose, structure, and preliminary results from a promising new approach, Healing and Resilience after Trauma (HaRT) Yoga, developed and piloted in Kampa…

  • All I was Thinking About was Shattered”

    Open AccessNamy, Sophie Namy et al.ARTICLEAffilia2022Citada por: 1Referências: 2

    Human trafficking is an egregious violation of fundamental human rights and a global challenge. The long-term harms to survivors' physical, psychological and social wellbeing are profound and well documented, and yet there are few studies exploring how to best promote resilience and holistic healing. This is especially true within shelter programs (where the majority of anti-trafficking services are provided) and during the transition out of resi…
