        And these girls insteady of opening their legs immediately, why don't they report the issues there and then?? Why wait after seeing repercussions of silence?? It's very normal for a lecturer to get attracted to the student and it's the role of the student to be assertive enough!

        It beats my understanding why they come out after facing all those challenges! @MakerereU administration atleast is very strict on sexual harassment! Girls stop behaving like babies and stand up and fight for your future, silence is not the best option, Speak out loudly!

        Victim-blaming rhetoric, such as yours, is part of the problem. Sexual harassment and assault are not normal, yet they are normalized in this context, and women are blamed regardless of how they respond.

        @msfamakinwa understand me well! Why would you seriously wait to face all that?? It's like doing a disservice to oneself! They're so many ways you could report such an issue at @MakerereU ! Why wait?????

        @RuhwezaSylas What typically happens after such cases are reported? Here, it is not clear if the instructor was disciplined at all. It is appalling that a sexual predator like him is allowed to continue teaching.
