Women hold #MyDressMyChoice protest in support of stripped lady

Elected women leaders should do more to address violence against women or quit, Kilimani Mums, that organized the #MyDressMyChoice demonstration, has said.

The demonstration is ongoing at Freedom Corner in Central Park, Nairobi.

The remark concerns the stripping of a woman by alleged Embassava Sacco matatu touts for being indecently dressed

When you start abusing and oppressing the weak, you have just wasted the last 500,000 years of Darwinian Evilution on primates

I'm in solidarity with the demonstrators. If I was there I'd go even a step further and rip the pants off matatu touts. Shame on them.

I am glad women are speaking up against this barbarism.

its not OK anywhere
Both men and women who were standing and watching as it happened are guilty
If some women who was there started screaming and grabbing the victim
from her tormentors the stripping would have stopped
If some men had intervened and ordered it stopped, it would have stopped

I once saw a more dangerous situation where a thieve had been caught and was about to
be killed BUT one man stood up and said the thieve was not going to be killed and thats what happened

This #MyDressMyChoice type activism is rubbish it should be replaced
with a campaign that tells women (and men) exactly what to do if they witness a stripping
in progress i.e DONT JUST WATCH THEN GO SHOUTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA
DO SOMETHING (non-violent (scream)) RIGHT THERE AND THEN

next.....

Why strip her; why not cover her up with more clothes where they thought she was short. These are just criminals perverts looking to break the bore that is their life. When did matatu touts become paragon of virtues and morals.

Thats how Afghanistan turned into what it is today.
Used to be a country that respected women until a few men took control, then it became a free for all.

Guzmo:

Why do you assume that protest, in social media or wherever, necessarily precludes other actions?   A long-term solution to such problems, and the development of ways to deal with actions that arise from deeply-rooted Neanderthal mentalities, will take time and will require many different actions that cannot be accomplished in one or two weeks.  But the first step must be an expression of outrage; that is what is happening, and it is what will wake up many.

Men love control. Stay away from those kind who always seek to dominate. One thing I have learned in life is that you always have to watch your back. Those in power always want more and are willing to take it away from you. So watch out!!!

Mya88, I agree with and duly condemn such babaric acts of stripping women. But also women need to understand that there are limits to everything on earth.  Public nudity is illegal and should remain as such.  Obscenity isn't different from pornography and should be punishable by law.

All am saying is that  its evil to undress a woman  as its evil too to dress in skimpy dresses or whatever.
I love decently dressed women. I know you love attention but you don't have to expose your thighs in order to attract it.
If only we lived a life of righteousness and not of Laws, we would have no strippers and defenders of nudity.

The Negro is an amazing creation.  Bazungu came and found people practically naked in a climate that permits it. You just need to look through the first pictures bazungu took of Africans.  Bazungu put clothes on them. 

The Negro can now put on a suit and look dapper.  And he will strip clothes off a woman because they are too skimpy.
