From Anthills to Cyberspaces:How technology is helping women and girls to combat VAW.

Today, technology especially social media has provided us with much more advanced platforms compared to an anthill where we can broad cast our message globally. I have previously shared similar cases where women like Prisca Baike  have used technology to  amplify their struggles against violence.

Likewise,  a former student at Makerere University used the only tool that was in her possession- a smart phone and took a self of  University administrator who forcefully grabbed her boobs and started licking them when she went to pick her academic documents. Read the full story.

She later circulated the picture on social media and exposed the act. Her actions attracted support  including  the University Vice  Chancellor applauded her for exposing the errant officer who harassed her.

Consequently the officer has been  arrested and we hope that justice will be served.
