The Minister for Information and Communications Technology, Ms Judith Nabakooba has urged media houses to put in place strict policies against sexual harassment to protect female journalists.
Speaking to the media during celebrations to mark the World Press Freedom Day on Thursday, Ms Nabakooba urged media owners to take this as an urgent matter.
“With policies [on sexual harassment] journalists will know that at least there are regulations in place to protect them. For us as partners from government, we are committed to work with the media industry and we have seen the launch of the Uganda Media Sector Working Group for the media houses to work together and ensure that the Media Council is vibrant,” Ms Nabakooba said.
