Wives unhappy with neglectful husbands will have their Women's Conference aired on NBS TV on Wednesday.
The wives stunned Kampala on Monday when they gathered at several key roundabouts to protest against husbands paying more attention to their concubines and mistresses (side-chics).
The women were advised by the police to hold a formal gathering to address their issues. As the protests went viral on social media under the hashtag #GetMoreFromYourHusband, NBS TV jumped on board and granted the women a platform to have their conference air live on TV.
They thereafter announced that they will hold a women's conference at NCC in Naguru.
“We shall hold the conference where we shall unpack the secret to marital bliss at the NCC in Naguru this Wednesday. NBS will air the conference live between 12pm and 1pm, so we ask wives out there and members of the public to tune in and join the discussion,” Susan Nyamwenge, the co-ordinator of the women says.
“At the conference, several topics including the thorny issue of whether the boy child is empowered to deal with today’s modern woman will be discussed,” she said.
Nyamwenge tells us that the trending Kameeza Money topic will be discussed on top of whether, “Food is still the way to a man’s heart.”
“Some of the complaints we gathered from wives is that men are no longer eating at home and this is creating rifts in marriage. We want to see how to prepare better meals that will have our husbands craving home cooked meals among other issues,” she said.
A promo clip on NBS shows that several media personalities like Karitas Karisimbi, Rebbeca Jjingo and Doreen Nasasira are will moderate and lead panel discussions at the conference.
The debate is expected to be an explosive one as the protests have attracted attention of Members of Parliament and activists interested in women affairs.
The interesting conversation can be followed on # GetMoreFromYourHusband and #WomensConference.
