Fear of abduction is leading anywhere from 12-15,000 children in Northern Uganda to migrate to locked shelters every night. The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) is the reason these children walk up to two hours every night in order to sleep. The LRA has a long history of abducting children and looting personal property. Parents send their children into town for their own security while they stay at home to protect their property.
