Too many digital platforms today are flooded with content that promotes nudity, vulgar language, and behavior that goes against African values and modesty.
Our children and younger generations are watching — and unless we act, we risk losing our identity, culture, and moral foundation.

This petition calls on the National Assembly and cultural institutions to support a bill that will require content creators to include ethical disclaimers before posting any content that involves:
- Exposure of the body or sexually suggestive content,
- Profanity or foul language,
- Promotion of conduct that disrespects African tradition and moral decency.

We are not against creativity or freedom of expression — we are calling for responsibility and accountability.
Every creator must help guide our youth, not mislead them.

By signing this petition, you're saying:
“I believe in protecting African culture, promoting modesty, and ensuring digital content reflects good morals.”

Summary of the Proposed Bill

Title: Ethical Digital Content and Cultural Integrity Bill

Key Highlights:
1. Ethical Disclaimers Required:
All digital content that contains nudity, vulgar language, or promotes behavior that goes against modesty must begin with a disclaimer that:
- Warns viewers about the nature of the content,
- States that it does not reflect African moral or cultural values,
- Advises younger viewers or parents to exercise caution.

2. Protecting Youth and Public Morality:
The bill aims to prevent moral decay in society by ensuring that content creators distinguish between entertainment and real-life values, especially for younger viewers.

3. Promotion of African Culture and Modesty:
Creators are encouraged to occasionally produce content that promotes good behavior, respect, modest dressing, ethical conduct, and African pride.

4. Penalties for Non-Compliance:
Repeat violators may face:
- Warnings,
- Takedowns or demonetization of content,
- Fines or suspension for spreading indecent or misleading content without a disclaimer.

5. Oversight:
A Digital Content Ethics Council will be created to monitor, sensitize, and enforce the provisions of this bill.

Call to Action:
We urge lawmakers, cultural leaders, parents, and every concerned citizen to support this bill and help reset the moral compass of our media.
Sign, share, and speak up — let's protect our culture before it's too late.
