Northern Uganda to the World. Congratulations @BenOngomTweets and Team.
Gulu, Acholi, Northern Uganda, the @fourthmediaug is up and running. Visit us on the second floor of Bible House, along Queens Avenue, opposite AAR in Gulu, for all conversations related to media, communications, storytelling, and content creation. The responsibility of building a conscious and people-centered media rests with us. A media that serves the common person begins with acquiring the knowledge, skills, and values needed to tell our stories better and hold meaningful conversations about our future. The journey starts here.

Female journalists have the right to speak, report, and share stories without fear of harassment or intimidation. Protecting their voices means creating safer digital spaces where truth and accountability can thrive. #ProtectJournalists #StopOnlineHarassment #GenderEquality

Online violence takes many women out of digital spaces. Take a look at how it manifests. #EndOnlineViolence
Digital spaces should be platforms of empowerment, not fear.Yet many women who raise their voices continue to face harassment, threats & intimidation designed to silence & exclude them from online spaces.Let’s stand together & end digital violence against women. #OnlineViolenceX

As I have always said, If you have a problem with menstrual blood, then just date a man. Women menstruate it is not news. And sometimes, mistakes will happen. If you think this little blood messes up your car, then wait till she has to push a baby out in the car while you are stuck in jam rushing to the hospital, you will see real blood. And if she had a heavy meal before labor begins, Number 2 will actually come out before the baby. So this is nothing lads. As long as you are straight and love women, then terms and conditions apply.😉 abakyala bazira.
Bro to bro, your girlfriend did this, what would you do??
