Protecting Uganda’s Future – Its Children

Today is Human Rights Day and the final day of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.  It’s a day to remind us that everyone must play a vital role in championing human rights and protecting those in need. Children are the most vulnerable among us, completely dependent on others for their needs and protection. This makes children the most likely to suffer violence and human rights abuses, often at the hands of those on whom they depend on the most. Uganda has an appallingly high incidence rate of violence against children.  The Uganda Violence Against Children Survey (UVAC 2015) found that 75 per cent of Ugandan children experience some form of violence during childhood. Research shows that the bulk of this violence is occurring in places that should be safe and committed by people like parents/relatives, teachers, friends, and trusted community leaders who those children should be able to trust most.

Okay Kaya – “Asexual Wellbeing” Video

Kaya Wilkins is releasing her second album as Okay Kaya, Watch This Liquid Pour Itself, at the end of January. We've heard two tracks from it already, "Ascend And Try Again" and "Baby Little Tween," and today Wilkins is sharing a new one called "Asexual Wellbeing." The track's music video, which Wilkins co-directed with Adinah Dancyger, starts with a breathy spoken word piece before launching into the track proper, a rubbery synth song about the spectrum of desire. "I know sex with me is mediocre, but I can give you asexual wellbeing," Wilkins sings. "But I can probably feel what you're feeling." Wilkins had this to say in a press release: island mud house horses and stringy apple tree blood of beet meals baby in a moth suit clipping the clothing-rack soon dry look out for a field be fire and dv’s and shitty driving good music imitate algae in the coolest jacket to exist loving your loved ones like it’s never going to end don’t let the hand deject you except the shadow it gives paint
