The Non-governmental Gender Organisations Coordinating Council has condemned the exposure of nude pictures on social media which have the potential to erode and compromise morals in society.
NGOCC Executive Director Engwase Mwale says her Organisation has been alerted to some disturbing nude pictures and videos of a named Kabwe woman, which have since gone viral and circulating of a video of a naked woman suspected to be a witch in Chililabombwe, Copperbelt Province.
Mrs. Mwale said the NGOCC is aware that the Zambia Police has a record of this case and knows the culprits who committed this hideous crime and expect that these people will be brought to book.
She said the NGOCC is disheartened and remains deeply concerned at such wanton trends in abrogating women’s rights and dignity which goes further to defeat national values and principles which all must resolve to uphold.
Mrs. Mwale has since appealed to everyone, especially women to desist from taking and sharing pictures that dehumanize and expose their privacy.
She said it is important that as a people, women and men, girls and boys, become cautious of their self-image and self-respect by safeguarding the kind of materials they share on social media and other spaces.
Mrs. Mwale has since appealed to the Ministry of National Guidance and Religious Affairs, to heighten national sensitisation and broad-based consultations regarding fundamental principles on human and women’s rights.
She said there is urgent need to take the approach of engaging citizens on mind-set change around upholding Zambia’s national values and principles.
Women taking those things and send to one ministers and such ministers never get fired.
Arrest a minister as sacrifice lamb, they will stop getting naked.
Which woman does not enjoy being naked? A man will never take a picture of his nude self
It is a strategy for most losers and failures in life. They have failed to make it and the only way is to send naked photos where they can be easily identified. You address them as socialites and give then attention they need. Next time they do it do not mention their names. This is how some countries have discouraged copy cat gun men, no names mentioned and no pictures in the end they get disappointed because there is no publicity.They are even prosecuted with no media attention. I know our pastor brother once messed up in Chingola. As long as you treat them like successful people in life, the trend will continue
