The dean of the school of women and gender issues at Makerere university, Prof. Josephine Ahikire is called for student engagement in the fight against education sexualization at the country’s highest and oldest education institution. In a symposium held at the women and gender school at Makerere, Prof. Ahikire said a well structured system to handle issues of sexualization at the university should be strongly set up to help handle such issues for the students to send their issues for maximum solving. She also added that such cases have been happening at the university but have not seen light since the victims have chosen to stay silent and now they are asking students to be the rape preventers for the vice to be curbed down.

However, prof. Maggie Kigozi said this is a much bigger problem that calls for feminists to fight with all strong terms possible to create a safe environment for all students.

The students narrated what happens at the University for such Cases to occur. The new initiative comes after one of the female students at the university was raped by a lecturer who is now facing court for his illegal act.
