The older men's request was for the women to be faithful. This is an urban situation, and one of the problems we found out about early on in Entebbe, was that the man would come back and go to the beer place and drink. The woman, of course, being neglected at home would walk out and go to another place to drink and the children would be left alone. One of the women’ dramas showed that: one of the boys became a drug addict, the girl got pregnant and the parents had to resolve all the problems by getting back together.

What the boys are saying, is that any boy seeing a beautiful girl would be excited, would be attracted to that girl, but the mini-skirt exposes so much of them that they find that they want to see more of the girls! That was their request. But then the community said of course, that there is freedom, freedom of what people can do: but that the young girls should know, they should not jump on any fashion that comes, they should know the risks they are taking in putting on things like that.
