Images from Uganda

As part of the Uganda Young, Empowered and Healthy (Y.E.A.H.) Campaign, street pole signs and posters were developed to raise attention to transactional sex, also called “something for something love.” The street pole posters were to be seen as a series.

The story is based on a fictional character 'Uncle Bob' who entices a young girl into a sexual relationship with promises of a symbolic phone (the red phone is in almost all of the pictures) The series is aimed to draw the attention of both parties and the community as it depicts the consequences faced by both the older man and the girl if they engage in transactional sex.

It all begins here, Uncle Bob gives girl a red phone with the expectation (his) that she will have sex with him. [2006]

PO UGA 215

Young girls are seen as no longer marriageable by their peer boyfriends once they begin having sexual relationships with older men. To be unmarragiable as a young woman in Uganda is deemed as failure. [2006]

PO UGA 213

Uncle Bob's family leaves him as a result of finding out about his relationship with a young girl which is very shameful in the community. [2006]

PO UGA 214

Young girl gets pregnant after having sex with Uncle Bob for the phone and is sad and disappointed. [2006]
