ESTHER PASSARIS CONDEMNS LEAKING OF INTIMATE IMAGES

Nairobi Woman Rep Esther Passaris came out in support of fellow politician Millicent Omanga after her alleged private videos were anonymously leaked on social media.

Taking to Twitter, she condemned leaking of private images, “The release of intimate images of any woman or man without their consent should be condemned in the strongest possible terms as a violation of their privacy and dignity. It is not only a gross invasion of their personal life, but also an attempt to intimidate, shame, embarrass and silence them. 

The shame is not for my sister, the shame is ours as a society that thrives on the destruction of one’s character oblivious of the pain or damage it causes to not only the aggrieved but also family, friends, and the public.”

Passaris said those leaking should be held accountable for their actions, “This is a reprehensible act that cannot be justified under any circumstances and it is important that we take a strong stance against such behaviour and hold those responsible accountable for their actions.”
