State Bans Women From Wearing Mini Skirts, Low Rise Jeans – Offenders Face 6Months In Jail


It is now a sin to wear miniskirts in Swaziland as police in Africa’s last absolute monarchy have banned women from wearing miniskirts and midriff-revealing tops saying they provoke r*pe, local media reported on Monday.
Offenders face a six-month jail term underthe ban, which invokes a colonial criminal act dating back to 1889.
“The act of the defiler is made easy, because it would be easy to removethe half-cloth worn by the women,” police spokeswoman Wendy Hleta was quoted as saying in the Independent Online news.
Not only miniskirts are affected by the ban, but the ban also applies to low-rise jeans.
“They will be arrested,” she said.
Hleta said women wearing revealing clothing were responsible for assaults or r*pes committed against them.
“I have read from the social networks that menand even other women have a tendency of ‘undressing people with their eyes’. That becomeseasier when the clothes are hugging or are more revealing,” Hleta said.
However, the ban does not apply to traditional costumes worn by youngwomen during ceremonies like the annual Reed Dance, where the ruling King Mswati III chooses a wife.
The flamboyant king already has 13 wives.
During the ceremony, beaded traditional skirts worn by young bare-breasted virgins only cover the front, leaving the back exposed. Underwear is not allowed.
The law was enforced after a march by women and young girls last month calling for protection against a spate of r*pes in the impoverished kingdom, almost entirely surrounded by South Africa.
According to the media report, the march was blocked by police who has now found what they believe is a solution to the incidence of r*pe in Southern African country

@ topic........... a king who has 13 wives? double standard, anyway if it will reduce the rate of molestaton ih their country so be it.

But will it stop r@pe? Most r@pe cases in nigeria is not as a result of indecent dressing.

says who my dear, even in america it was reported that indecent dressing increase the tendency to r@pe, it was suppressed by female politicians and freedom peaple. Hence the only solution america gov has for it was to step up police activities in that area but many other countries want to follow america with out the capacity of american police hence the result is deficiet in security situation.

Ban

Good.
Fed up with those women with no respect.
