A Ugandan law student says she has been barred from class because her knee-length skirt was deemed ‘distracting to men and boys’, a report said on Monday.
According to BBC, Joaninne Nanyange said that such rules reinforced a system under which women were being made responsible for the actions of men who harassed and attacked them.
In June, at least 1300 high school children in Apac District in the east African country went on strike after the school banned mini-skirts.
According to All-Africa the school administration confiscated all mini-skirts and tight trousers, a move which reportedly annoyed the students.
The students moved to destroy the school property after the ban.
