In short
The Form is given to victims and survivors of a crime after an assessment by the police officer that there is reasonable basis to believe that an offense has been committed against them. The forms are then used to assist the prosecution of crimes involving sexual violence under the Penal Code Act.
Victims of assault and sexual gender based violence in Gulu district will be relieved of payments to access police forms thanks to an effort by an area Non-Government organization Human Rights Focus-HURIFO.
The organization has donated up to 6000 copies of police forms 3, 3A to stations across the district saving victims payments ranging between Ugx 400 and 20,000.

Francis Odongyoo, the Executive Director of HURIFO observes that often victims and their relatives are constrained by the long distances they have to travel to access the form or even get copies out of it. He says the scenario then slows the administration of justice for victims and survivors of gender based violence.
Odongyoo is optimistic that the availability of these forms will now promote access to justice for victims of torture and sexual gender based violence in commemoration of the United Nations international day in support of torture victims.

Similarly, Simon Peter Wafana, the Aswa regional police commander says the initial charge attached to the form has quite often stalled administration of justice as some victims fail to effect the payment while sometimes they are inaccessible.
