"If he raped you, why didn't you tell us?" . In our society so fond of gaslighting victims of sexual violence , Jennifer Makumbi shares an example in her masterpiece novel #kintu how it's done. In BUT SHE WANTED IT! We explore other forms and contexts of this victimization.

Notice how the violation begins by subtle rebuttals in conversation , then it grows to his blatant negation of the victim's 'no', before it escalates to outright physical indignity.

But I know, groups of poets unite for common interests and they form groups/teams/partnerships/companies to do poetry work. Maybe that's what some now call 'Poetry Houses'.

I have said it before, and I will say it again; if you're a poet in Kampala/Uganda and you do not not perform your poems, you will remain a broke poet. @UgandaPoets @KeleleAtMak @openmicuganda @isabirye_mitch @Nzensubuga @ObedOurGuild @Rushongoza @rssekajja @IbuaJournal.

The victim reached out for help but the person he reached out to was not pro-active enough. She only called back in the morning to check if all was okay.

The subtle gaslighting the victim suffers from their best friend is noticeable. Victim-blaming of sexual violence victims is prevalent in our society.

Same thing with poetry. The best way poets can earn a living is by treating poetry as a business, not just as a passion.

Oh so how did he know what was coming??? The dude kept lying to him to buy himself time. Beneath your focus & insistent language of victim blaming is an obvious intention to vindicate the perpetrator for his criminal actions. We see you 👀.
@NgobiPoet . Buying the wipes as a man you can break the door glass also call out pipo coz he knew wat was coming I beg guys to stop behaving like bitches hold your strength as key. You a man fight that's wat we are made for unless it was a under a Pistole or a knife attack. .

@UgandaPoets @i_zziwa @Benjamin_Watch @SseboLule @rssekajja @KakwenzaRukira @ElTablaz @ObedOurGuild @NagwereGerald1 @AfroetryC By the way, most poets still do not differentiate between 'an anthology' and 'a poetry collection'. These two terms do not mean the same thing, and have different copyright implications. Using them interchangeably is misleading.

2. Susan Kiguli.Poets are possessed beings in/of performance. If you think I'm lying, watch Prof. Susan Nalugwa Kiguli perform a praise poem! Her body disappears and it becomes the poem itself.

Note how the perpetrator lures his unsuspecting victim into a space safe enough to practice their sexual violation.

@DeborahAsiimwe @HawaKimbugwe 7. @MamaKLA Byooga .Before she was into radio, performance poetry was her thing. Then she left for radio and voyages in Twitter storms. But soon after realizing poetry was her thing, she returned to stage anew. Nowadays she plays the entongooli while she performs her poetry.

The most important thing is for a poetry 'house' to work with professionals, given contracts with clear deliverables.
