« Love is patient and kind. It is not jealous or boastful or proud. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable and keeps no record of wrongs. It does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. »
"A woman should not have to calculate whether an individual officer, security guard, or venue manager will consider her clothing sufficiently “decent” before entering a public space. Clear law protects not only citizens, but also those tasked with enforcing it," - ✍️ @NashBishumba. READ: https://t.co/VdMaAUn1WS via @NewTimesRwanda
This has to be a special kind of self inflicted humiliation because why are you sitting in the middle of men talking about a body you also have, vulgarly. Kikiiiing????? the lengths some of you will go to distinguish yourselves from other women in front of men needs to be studied
The scariest part of that video, it’s the screaming and applause from the crowd😳💔where are we heading as a society? This is how our community sees women?! Today it’s the Police…..tomorrow, i don’t even know. and honestly, that’s terrifying 🥺
This is what we are fighting 😭 this is what we are trying to avoid. Imagine umuntu wumva ko uburenganzira bw’abagore bwarangiye what he will do to those women 😭😭😭😭💔
I also think this debate shouldn't be minimized to just a miniskirt debate. This is way deeper and goes straight to the bodily autonomy of women. It relates to other pertinent issues such as the violence towards women , and the prevalence of teen pregnancies.
If a society blames the sexualization of women on the clothes they are wearing, that same society blame on women the very violence they endure.
My favorite part of the bible is when jesus, instead of telling women how to dress, tells men to gouge out their eyes and cut off their hands if they're not capable of controlling themselves.
Meanwhile women are now scared to go to the gym, to take a moto, to just be. We can’t keep having empty statements from police as if they are not the ones fueling this crisis. The whole “agents of change” thing is also crazy and they are going to abuse that sort of power!
So you want to mean these officers had no briefings?!
Anyway , I think that at this point, a public statement is needed. Because these excuse tweets are not enough. We want to move from “explanation” to “damage control,” cause honestly, you’re giving a live apology timeline without addressing the issue.
It’s interesting how men can pee on the side of the street, walk around shirtless especially when there’s a game and it’s excused as showing excitement or simply “men being men”
So are we really concerned about public indecency or are we looking for an excuse to oppress women?
Are we all witnessing Women’s bodies being policed and controlled by MEN and we are just moving on like nothing is happening??? Women are being turned away at venues because the MAN at the gate decided she is not dressed how he assumes she should. Which law is this again?
The police is threatening to beat women if they don't go back home to "dress" up. They've decided to use violence to control women's bodies. Harazamo nigiti they say.

Maman, la nuit qu'on a passée à discuter, j'ai appris tellement de choses mais surtout que tu es une super-héroïne. Ils sont fiers de toi
