SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE WORKPLACE.

IS COMPLIMENTING SOMEONE HARASSMENT?

Growing up, Kinene was a very shy but ‘cute’ boy who liked being around girls but did not really know how to talk to them. As he went through school, this changed, and he became a Casanova who liked to compliment and ‘woo’ girls at every outing. So, it came as a shock to him last week when he complimented Hajara and she said that he had harassed her. Kinene wants to know what she meant by harassment.

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

Harassment is anything done to a person that makes this person feel intimidated or under pressure. First, it must be unwelcomed by that person. For example, if someone utters threats because you want to hear them then you are not being harassed. However, what we want to look at today, is sexual harassment.

Harassment becomes sexual if a person makes any unwelcome direct or indirect sexual advances towards someone else. These can be either verbal or physical toward another person. For example, if Kinene starts to compliment a woman about her breasts, says something inappropriate or even touches any part of her body intentionally, all this amounts to the sexual harassment of that person.

Therefore, it is important before you start making comments, or physically touching someone to be sure that there is express and explicit permission from that person to either talk to them a certain way or to physically engage with them. It may not be wise to assume that because someone was smiling at you or being polite to you, they are ok with whatever you want to do.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

President Museveni Praises Soldiers for Torturing Bobi Wine in Arua on August 2018.

President Museveni at the passout of police officers in Masindi Friday https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 President Museveni has praised his Special Forces Command [SFC] guards for properly and legally beating National Unity Platform [NUP] presidential flagbearer, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. “The other day, there was a fracas in West Nile where our young friend Bobi Wine was fighting security people,” Museveni said Friday while passing out police recruits at Kabalye Training School in Masindi district. “I think they beat him a bit and then they came and said a Member of Parliament has been beaten. I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

https://m.facebook.com/yusufosuta/photos/a.1896701010557789/2070383359856219/?type=3 OPEN LETTER TO NRM SUPPORTERS - NATIONAL ROBBERS MOVEMENT. .................................................................................. Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda. I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know. It got me totally messed up. This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood. He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations. His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion. So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe? Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...
