#Femism and #Gender are disciplines. We are scholars. Our staff and classes have both male and female. Come for a proper debate. As a University that's what we do all the time. See you soon.Alliance Française Kampala

You don't need to record a debate. We have full classes on #Feminism . Of interest to you would be Feminist Theory; Feminism and Women's Movements, taught at Bachelors and Post Graduate levels, physical and virtually. Be our guest & debate as much as you like, and also record.

Another misrepresentation of #feminism and #Gender . The more reason those who want to be in the space needs to be informed. Please the scholarship is widely available. Please take advantage. I hope Alliance Française Kampala doesn't share your views.

Please get informed about #Feminism . Secondly, even with a disclaimer, Alliance Française Kampala provided the platform on which #Feminism and #Gender were misrepresented and subverted. These are matters we take seriously and which cannot be settled with a mere disclaimer.

No one is claiming to know their entire opinions. The one-minute clip shared is bad enough, a disservice to #feminism and #gender . And it is in that one-minute clip we are reacting to.
