Man sues Ugandan University for banning miniskirts, lipstick, sleeveless tops, coloured nails, trouser; says it is a violation of female right to equality

Bugema University announced the ban in a notice dated December 12, 2018.
“No student should come back with the above mentioned next semester. Culprits will face university disciplinary committee for serious action,” the notice warns.
Mr Bwire says the ban is a violation of female students’ right to equality, dignity, freedom of expression, conscience and culture.
“The impugned notice is threat not only to constitutionalism and rule of law but also to Uganda’s efforts to respect, promote and uphold rights and status of women,” the suit reads in part.
Mr Bwire contends that besides causing distress, physiological torture and inconvenience, the University’s directive has lowered the dignity and status of women generally.
Through his lawyers Mayende & Associated Advocates, Mr Bwire wants court to order the lifting of the ban and compensation with costs of the suit
