Pics: Kenyan women protest harrassment of women over dressing

A video of a Kenyan woman being stripped naked by men on a street in Nairobi last week for dressing 'inappropriately' has sparked outrage in the country leading to several protests. Several women, including celebs and politicians took to the streets of Kenya today to protest the harassment calling for it to be illegal and asking government to arrest the men shown in the video stripping the woman naked.

The protesters have also started a campaign called #MyDressMyChoice, saying undressing a woman in public is sexual harassment. See photos from the protest after the cut...

      Abeg let them allow us to dress as we like ooo, we can even decide not to wear clothes at least we have been dressing naked since 1614 untill oyinbo called us babaric and brought clothes for us to wear in Africa.

    these people should leave women alone.. just because a woman is dressed skimpy does not giv u the right to abuse her.. its her choice.. nd she will take responsibility.. all these useless randy men are the same ones sleeping with girls that wear mini skirts.. so wht gives u the ryt to b a hypocrite in public.. ppl shld mind their business abeg

    Stripping them naked for inappropriate dressing Is actually barbaric and violation of their human right, so they are right to protest.

    I agree with the slogan, 'My Dress, My Choice.' It is molestation, sexual harrasment and freedom to expression in style when a clueless elements will strip a woman naked.

    This is fantastic and good for them for taking a stand. I haven't seen what these men called inappropriate but absolutely nothing should be a reason why you strip a grown woman or child of her clothes because you decide its inappropriate. I hope they really get justice and well done to what seems like a peaceful protest. Human rights issues should never be seen as not important. Stand up Africa for your rights.

    Everyone one has a right to dress the way they want. A lady was also harassed the same way in Abuja weeks ago in broad day light by some guys on the street becus she wore a dress just above her knee, I wasn't pleased at all.
