There is divided opinion on this thorny issue. Maoni yenu especially wana dada kama @Karma_mama @Deep Sea @Pseudonyms na wengineo
 
Wakitaka warushe mawe but it is true. Some people are uncouth na wakiona mwanamke amevaa jinsi fulani, kwa akili zao wataona huyo ni malaya. With such lewdness being despicable to many people, while arousing to others, many things can happen.

Hata kama ni my dress my choice, mind your environment. Huwezi vaa wedding dress kuenda kulima, why where revealing clothing mahali clearly it will get you in trouble?
 
It's common sense but alot of brainless, my choice people in the world we live in today.
There's a certain order in how life works.
You dress appropriately for the occasions and places you intend to go.
This lack of common sense is what is making organisations have dress codes.
Just see at how ladies go to church and ask yourself what book they follow as guidance because it's clearly mentioned in the Bible how ladies should dress. Atleast some respect for the church.
 
Ma-toxic feminists wame-focus na hizo last seven words kwa banner na kusema ati it is victim shaming, ati dress mode haiwezi fanya mtu afikirie ku-rape. But tumeona watu wameraruriwa the little they had dressed in because it was too scanty.
 
This is a comforting myth that makes it easy to pretend that sexual assault happens to people that make bad choices.
Studies have shown that women who have passive personalities and dress in layers, long pants and sleeves, high necks are actually more likely to be raped.

Most convicted rapists could not remember what their victims were wearing.
Nuns and soldiers have been victimised.

Assuming only a small percentage of men are rapists, should we not work on them to change their behaviour rather than oppress the masses?

Who decides what decent is?
Or should we go the way fundamental Islam?

Do you have a link to these studies?

Society gets to decide for itself what decency is, especially one like Kenya where religion is hard-baked. Attempting to copy what the west does and replicate it here has always ended poorly. If walking bare-breasted is acceptable among Maasais, the same cannot be true for Taitas and vice versa. Wouldn't it be appropriate to be culturally sensitive when choosing what one wears, appropriate to the situation?

You said it yourself. Some indigenous cultures wear little to nothing. Why is there no epidemic of rape there?
There are many many studies.
Google for more.

That banner has true message and coming from university, the person who did it has clearly nailed it !
 
whoever made the sign is a right wing authoritarian
Our recent history is replete with sad stories of girls who were undressed by town layabouts who felt the girls were not appropriately dressed. The author was just warning the college girls (some of who are still acclimatizing to town culture!) that they could be at risk of being victimized. Of course there is never enough space in a banner to explain oneself so that one is not judged by people with inadequate information).

The Bible is a history of the descendants of Abraham, expecting Africans in Africa to follow jews customs is a tad too much.
Look at how people dress while visiting the Kaya shrines or any other cultural shrines, They know the potency of true African religion.

I don't see the relation, anyways point, is at least have respect for the places of worship.

How about educating the perpetrators instead? No means no despite anything else.
I don't hear anybody telling men how to dress. Why should they tell women?
