Uganda's mini skirts laws

This article talks about recent laws in Uganda that have made it illegal for women to wear any clothing that might be construed as too promiscuous. The law prohibits women from dressing “indecently”. This law has caused men to feel entitled to correct those who are not following it, and has caused widespread sexual harassment and assault. Men have begun to undress women wearing miniskirts in the streets. The reaction by women has been to protest and ask that other countries support them in their fight against this oppressive law and the men who taken it into their own hands. This problem I think plays really well into our discussion of rape culture, and it shows how this problem isn’t just a societal problem in America, but worldwide. I cannot believe that a country would actually put this into law, and by doing so they have given men the license to regulate those who dress promiscuously. It makes me sad that these women have to endure this sort of harassment and assault, and that their country would support it.
