A DRESS CODE/OUTFIT IS NOT AN INVITE!!!!!!
I know we have had this talk so many times, but I'm here to talk about the exact same thing because nothing seems to be changing. These are the 3 outfits I've worn the times I've been sexually assaulted; (it's happened so many times )
Hey 24,
You'll be better than 23, you'll open more doors, you'll do more activism, you'll scale that startup, and you'll be an awesome mom. You'll eat your vegetables and watch your sugar levels, you'll not procrastinate, and you'll not settle for less.
Happy birthday to me🤍

Before you coddle anyone, let's all agree that as reasonable adults, when tasked with discussing any topic whatsoever on a panel, one has an obligation to be informed and present the right data. Peddling pedestrian talks and misinformation is just bad manners and laziness.
It's amazing the approach innovators are taking in solving challenges in the education and workforce sector i.e Automated hiring processes cut down costs & precious time spent. It's been an honor to share my insights at the OnRamp Education & Workforce Innovation Conference.
Patriarchy, capitalism and religion are mutually reinforcing systems. Their structures are akin to the slavery setup; hierarchal control and regulation, hoarding of power, protecting the superior and inferior narrative at all costs. It's a very complex but mutual relationship.

@Evemasicka
As a developer and owner of an AI platform in Uganda, I can say for a fact that AI will only wipe you out if you proceed with this mentality. Serious people have already aligned themselves with the incoming changes and will only benefit from it. And then there's you.
Feminists are not men-haters, neither is feminism a confirmation that one was heartbroken by a man, or men.
Lastly, there's no pride in suffering or enduring pain, and that's something most women are yet to accept.
When feminists are speaking about how women's labour in the household is trivialised &unpaid by men, don't be on the side of chuckling misogynists as a young lawyer. Connect the dots!

There are so many things wrong with this situation, but the worst is the appreciation of male teachers for not being pedophiles. We've so normalized pedophilia that we perceive people who don't do it as Supermen, clap hands and give them flowers.
Shame on y'all.
The citizens in this country have been reduced to beggars, no economic empowerment/dev't, so whichever bread/crumbs is offered, soiled or rotten, is welcomed with open arms.
People just want to eat, and that's a dangerous reason to cast a vote.
WATCH: "If indeed Lwengo Woman MP, Cissy Namujju asked for 20% of

Beyond the conversations, let us aim for implementations, let us endeavor towards reducing the statistics, let us make it a lifestyle to create a save haven for women and girls, not just a periodic campaign.

Violence against women & girls remains one of the most prevalent & pervasive human rights violations in the world.
Globally, an estimated 736 million women - 1 in 3 have been subjected to physical and/or sexual violence.

The most important lesson is that change can be one person at a time, not big positions or huge funds. Start with the little you have. One by one always makes a bundle.

The pressure of capitalism on a person in her 20s (without generational wealth) is crazy. Because one rejection email will immediately send you to rock bottom, and the bulk of your past wins won't help at all. I hate it here... 😭
Thank you. While we are at it, please
@NDCUganda
, pay me up for the poetry adjudication I did two months ago. You can't be teaching kids about anti-corruption when you do not practice the spirit.
Enough is enough📌
In 2024, NO more UNPAID WORK for young people, please!!
- Want youth on your advisory council? PAY them!
- Want youth to speak at your institution/conference? PAY them!
- Want youth to co-author a piece/report? PAY them!
Compensate youth for their time and expertise. Do BETTER.
Honestly just want to skip to part of my story where the brown earth closes in and I return to the elements. Where those hymnals are sounding and lies about how great I was are being spat from all angles. Peaceful, at last!
So we are not going to talk about the pink washing in your work spaces? The toxic "safe feminist" spaces where some self-proclaimed "feminists" exploit, gaslight and perpetuate abuse against other women? We won't talk about the feminists for clout?
Okay. Goodnight.
Honestly, pay up. Ignoring my calls and texts doesn't reflect the accountability you people are pushing for. Its bad manners to not pay people you owe. This is exactly why I was reluctant to work with you guys.

Listen, we'll share house chores. We'll do laundry together, we'll maintain the house together, we'll raise the child (ren) together. All of us will do unpaid care work.
Also, all monetary investments will be receipted and accounted for, in a written contract.
Thank you
It is heartbreaking that with scaring stats as such, we still muster the face to justify sexual exploitation of children. This should not be a conversation about phones and parenting etc, it's about how teachers who spend majority time with our children are easily doing this.
Aaah, this issue has never been about public or private spaces. It comes down to the sexualization of a woman's body. Here's what I think:
1/2
Look at that particular media house renowned for taking these pictures, and the statements and portrayal of said pictures, comments etc2
I’m just inquiring, the ladies that dress negligibly and complain about lack of consent to take their pictures, did they get consent before appearing the way they did?
Like if something is private how about we keep it at that and not display it in public?
And he carelessly says "I won't beat you" like we should clap our hands because he's mercifully choosing not to be physically violent, like his wife should be lucky he comes home everyday, as if he did her a favor by getting into that marriage, how are y'all staying in such?
It's pedophilia traits to look at a minor and the first thing that comes to your mind is her degree of beauty/ugly/attractiveness.
BECAUSE WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH THAT INFORMATION?
Pedophiles 📌📌📌
Nostalgia. The CHOSEN 30 are indeed lucky. CLE was a defining point for me. The networking, the skills nurtured and those acquired, the mentorship. Every achievement after my 3rd year at law school can be substantially attributed to the CLE journey.
Congrats people

made those predatory remarks about a minor. They'll even teach him to conceal his predatory nature.
Kudos on the Kuteesa move. Now, in a country battling child marriages, teenage pregnancy and lots of sexual abuse against children, why should marriage be taught in schools?
Aren't there other topics that actually concern and affect them? Like SRHR?..
Because of the overwhelming feedback on Godfrey Kuteesa’s stand, we will not host him on the live

I'm considering carrying a knife or a stone in my bag because the next time someone feels entitled to my body, without my verbal permission, we'll see blood, and it won't be mine. You can't wake up and assume people dress for you, or that somehow I must factor into my schedule

78-year-old Godfrey Sozi, facing charges of aggravated defilement of a 7-year-old, has asked the court for forgiveness and appealed to the judge for the opportunity to spend his final days at home rather than in prison. Justice Margaret Mutonyi took into account Mzee Sozi's

With all due respect, the panel did not delve into the essence of anything Afro-Feminist.

How come it's energy is never equally spread across all attendees of these events? Why is it that we immediately think of a woman's body in terms of decency/morals?
Isn't this the same reason Kikkubo men give for grabbing women's bums/breasts because she wore a vest/shorts?
@DoreenBiira1
Sexism, cyber bullying, and sheer stupidity is not "roasting".
Also, justifying cowpat behavior in society doesn't make it right. People should behave like they were raised, not grown.

is never about what a person is wearing. Wearing the longest fits or a short skirt has never protected me from being assaulted. Every time I get out of my house, I'm more worried about being harassed than by the possibility of having my bag snatched from me.
Once, I was on a boda and another boda guy tried to run his hands up my legs. For context, we are stuck in traffic. Another time, I was walking in front of Mega, a group of men started catcalling and hi-5ing each other like what it is they were doing was some heroic shit.
