Graphic video from Kenya shows woman being stripped because of her dressing 

A video of a woman who was reportedly stripped naked in Nairobi last week has made its way online and left many Kenyans outraged.

In the video, reportedly taken at a bus stop, the woman is seen surrounded by men who assault her for allegedly dressing improperly. 

In the incident at the Embassava bus top on Accra road, men believed to be touts ripped the woman’s clothes, kicked her in her private parts and called her ‘Jezebel’ for “tempting” them.

The video of the assault was caught on camera by a passenger and posted on the Jambonewspot website.

Kenyans are also expressing their disapproval of the act via #MyDressMyChoice  on Twitter.

This is not the first time we are hearing about women being assaulted because of their dressing

Earlier this year in Uganda, mobs claiming to be helping the police in Iganga District to enforce the Anti-Pornography Law, have in the last one week undressed at least 10 people for alleged indecent dressing.

Eight of the victims were women who were accused of wearing miniskirts while two were young men in their early 20s accused of wearing their trousers in the “balance” style, a fashion common among the youth where trousers are worn below the waist, often leaving underpants and the buttocks exposed. 

Police’s efforts to save an unidentified woman from a mob that attacked her on Sazza Road proved futile. By the time the Force arrived, she had already been undressed, but some Good Samaritans assisted her with a wrapper before she was taken to the police station for safe custody.

“We shall not allow women to pass on the road with skimpy dresses. Undressing them in public is the only way to stop them because when we hand them over to the police it will release them,” a boda boda cyclist, who preferred not to be named, told this newspaper.
