Some prostitutes from across East Africa were prevented from attending a workshop in Uganda.
What is more interesting in the above post is the apparent disconnect between the poster and commentators.
The intention of the poster was to highlight the criminalization of prostitution. A crime usually needs a victim, in the above example the only apparent “victim” appears to be a minister who took offense. (Apparently, a way of life is such a fragile thing that it needs protection under law)
The comments on the other hand, turn this issue into something else:
Maybe what the government needs to do is to find ways and means for women to support themselves so that they dont have to be prostitutes.
That when the women have really already found a way to support themselves. How about just legalizing prostitution ?
That Ethics Minister Nsaba Buturo has been fighting a way against the SMUG which is a gay coalition in Uganda for a long time. He appears to be losing though…Kampala gay scene is alive and vibrant.
