Photo & Video: Ugandan Feminist Strips Naked To Protest Being Locked Out of Her Office

Ugandan feminist, critic, researcher and lecturer at Makerere University, Dr. Stella Nyanzi, this morning stormed her office and went naked in protest after she was allegedly thrown out of her office by her superior, Prof. Mahmood Mamdani. In a 17 seconds video clip, the mother of two can be seen as she undresses, putting her bare breasts to the camera and raining curses at President Museveni.

She claimed her boss was forcing her to teach at the university while she was only contracted to do research work and not teaching. She later went on Facebook to post the video and captioned it:

“I have thrown my clothes outside Prof. Mamdani’s office. I am naked as I cry out for my office." She also chained herself before the university gave in to her demands and let her back to the office. She was initially removed from her office after she refused to teach in the MPhil/PhD program.
