Sexual Harassment in Tertiary Institutions: Perspectives of a Survivor

Hosts Furaha Joy Sekai Saungweme and DaJonna Richardson interview Samantha Mwesigye, a women's rights lawyer from Uganda with over 15 years experience practicing as a lawyer in government and private practice.    They discuss sexual harassment in Africa, specifically in Uganda, through the lens of Samantha as a survivor of sexual harassment. Also part of the discussion are recommendations and critiques on what universities can do to strengthen interventions and better protect students from sexual harassment.
