Immodest Dressing is Rapidly Becoming a Part of Us
The immodest dressing is rapidly becoming a part of us, therefore, leading to an increased rate of immorality in society.
It is most common among female students in colleges, polytechnics, and universities where thye expose their bodies.
Dress to kill is a common phrase used by students as they aim at looking attractive and sexy as opposed to the ancient days when women viewed their bodies as sacred therefore exposing it would be immoral.
The higher education institutions’ streets are full of strapless clothes, miniskirts, cleavage shirts, bum shorts and even sagging trousers by both boys and girls. Transparent clothes that reveal body anatomy that should not be seen in public are not also new.
The dressing pattern in society is expected to change due to the progressiveness of fashion as each day passes. However, what could be the driving force behind this indecent dressing?
Peer pressure, poor parental upbringing, social media pressure, and the desire to fit in amongst a particular group of people could be the cause of indecent dressing among the students.
Most of them forget that this provocative act may greatly contribute to the increased rape incidences in the country. The African community relates indecent dressing to harlotry therefore, an indecently dressed female may be referred to as a harlot even though she may not be one. This in turn gives her a bad image as it devalues her because it exposes what forms her treasure.
Most incidences of sexual harassment in learning institutions by fellow students and or lecturers go unreported as they are mostly linked to indecent dressing.
Technology and current trends cannot be prevented nevertheless indecent dressing can be reduced in these institutions by imposing strict enforcement measures on dress codes in schools. This can be achieved by joint efforts of the security, staff, and management of institutions. Parents should also teach their children how to dress decently and also dress decently to serve as a good example to their children.
