Hundreds of Namibian women have hit the streets of the capital Windhoek, to protest against police intentions to arrest ladies wearing mini-skirts for ‘indecency’. The protest comes after dozens of women were arrested for wearing mini-skirts.
Over 300 women gathered in central Windhoek's Zoo Park carrying banners, stating "How dare you minimize my freedom of choice" and "Arrest rapists and not fashionists."
The demonstration was organized by the Women in Solidarity organization.
Top policeman Sebastian Ndeitunga insisted that if women are found outside to be dressed indecently, they will be arrested, claiming that alluring dress provokes rape, adding that those who wear mini-skirts should "cover the essentials." Full story...

u don't see men allowed into high end restaurants, clubs n work in short pants do u? u don't see men wearing microshorts casually in public or during stage performance right? unless a policy is launched to encourage all boys/men to expose with microshorts in hot weather, otherwise I'm wholly against women taking advantage of miniskirt rights
