Queer women in Uganda: "Don't rush into coming out"

Interview
In East Africa, politics and the church propagate the idea that homosexuality is "un-African". In order to maintain their own power. However, queer life and love has always existed in Uganda. Homophobia, on the contrary, can be called a colonial import. We spoke with Ssenfuka Joanita Warry about queer activism in Uganda and why she takes every opportunity, she can to speak out and fight misconceptions about homosexuality.

Women on the right: anti-feminists, mothers, fighters

A common question often posed when it comes to the topic of right-wing women is whether these women are feminists. Before attempting an answer, it is worth to consider the assumptions behind this question.
