“Together with my colleagues of Uganda Women Parliamentary Association, we condemn acts of objectifying/dehumanizing Women. The Minister should have known that women are more than just bodies, and so we should be treated with honor and respect.” Winnie Kiiza Stated.
Winnie Kiiza added that because they are his daughters, wives and mothers; it’s only prudent that the project be cancelled with immediate effect.
