Guidelines for nudity and sexual content

There are 20 standards UCC has for general broadcast programming in the country. They include; public morals, social values, family viewing, sex and nudity, among others.

Under the sex and nudity section 8.1, it says, "The level of sexual activity allowed in a programme depends on the explicitness and frequency of the activity, its relevance to the storyline and the target audience. Generally, depictions of sexual activity are not allowed for G, and PG-rated programmes, while other programmes may contain implied sexual activity, but should be infrequent and brief."

"Content considered to be pornographic or obscene in nature is not allowed for all ratings," reads 8.3.

"The inclusion of sexual matters in programmes must be defensible in context and presented with tact and discretion. Sexually suggestive or lewd dialogue and innuendoes should not be broadcast. Sexual stereotyping which can be hurtful and/or demeaning must be avoided," reads 8.4.

"Nudity is not allowed for a G rating. Rear nudity is allowed in PG-rated programmes if it is discreet, justified by context and not meant to titillate. Side nudity in a non-sexual context is allowed under PG13," reads 8.10.
