Uganda
is considering extraordinary measures against women’s rights that would
lead to arrest for those wearing skirts above the knee in public. The
backed bill would also see many films and TV dramas banned and personal
internet use monitored by officials.
Lokodo,
a former Catholic priest, suggested that victims of sexual violence
invited trouble. “One can wear what one wants, but please do not be
provocative,” he said. “We know people who are indecently dressed: they
do it provocatively and sometimes they are attacked. An on looker is
moved to attack her and we want to avoid those areas.”
“He
is a criminal but he was also provoked and enticed.” Asked if men would
be banned from wearing shorts, the minister replied: “Men are normally
not the object of attraction; they are the ones who are provoked. They
can go bear-chested on the beach, but would you allow your daughter to
go bear-chested?”
The
likes of Beyonce and Madonna will be banned from television, Lokodo
added. “We are saying anything that exposes private parts of the human
body is pornography and anything obscene will be outlawed. Television
should not broadcast a sessy person.”
