And on Bunyonyi is the Punishment Island, also called Akampene among the Bakiga people of Uganda.

As recently as the beginning of the 20th century, the Bakiga people were known to expel to Akampene, young women who got pregnant out of wedlock.

Many of the women were stranded on Akampene and ended their own lives.

Among the people, young women who got pregnant before marriage were thought to have brought shame to their families.

In 2017, Mauda Kyitaragabirwe, a woman whose progeny believed was a centenarian, spoke to the BBC about how she was rescued from Akampene when she was pregnant at about 12 years old.
