Quote 4 Explicit content “One man here in town shared his personal video clip with a sex worker on WhatsApp, and then she also shared it with others. This man was famous in town and he lost dignity because of this video clip.”
Quote 5 Trouble with sexual partners “Conflicts happen in marriage because people cheat a lot using phones. They are always in touch with other extra marital partners...I saw it on WhatsApp on my friend’s phones. It was even within this town, some guy was touching himself on a video and sent it to the wife of his best friend and yet it’s the woman’s husband who sent a text to a phone number of some guy in his wife’s phone. The husband pretending to be his wife asked him to send a video of himself nude and he did. When he sent the video, the guy leaked it. The guy got embarrassed.”
Quote 6 Trouble with strangers “A stranger may call you and ask you to meet them when they have other ‘programs’ and he may end up killing you. The other thing is when it comes to relationships, you can fall in love with someone you don’t know and they cause you harm, like taking you for ritual sacrifice or raping or killing you.”
Quote 7 Trouble with sexual partners and intimate partner violence “I am a married woman. A phone can bring me problems if ‘kojja’ [uncle] that I work with admires me and asks me for my number. If I give it to him and he calls me when I am at home and he starts telling me that I look good among other things, my husband will become jealous, I will end up being beaten or we shall fight. He will start saying that I am promiscuous. The phone will have caused me problems.”
