Women in pants and miniskirts stripped naked.

Malawian Women protest due to the attacks for wearing pants and miniskirts.

Stripped out of their clothes due to not following tradition, how many people even do that now? Many Malawian women were stripped naked by the men due to not following the tradition of them wearing dresses, and instead wearing clothes such as pants, miniskirts or leggings. Due to this mishap, many of the women protested against this, wearing legging, pants, skirts, T-shirts, and other forms of clothes. Meeting in closed in places and ordering out the protests, these protests have gone to the nation's leader, and has ordered to arrest anyone who is attacking a women due to what she is wearing. As being a democracy, the law of wearing miniskirts and others that was banned, has been laid out again saying that women have the rights to wear what they feel like since the year of 1994.

Men might be the tougher gender, but they need to realize that putting down the females is not going to get our respect as we have the same emotions as they do. Stripping down someone for not following their traditions is not the right thing to do. Yes, tradition is meant to be kept, but if you try to live in today's world, and keep tradition going along with it, you just might be left behind in society. Also, being a country that is supposed to be lead by the people, they should have the rights to what they want to wear, and adding to that saying that the banning of pants etc. was demolished, the men had no rights to strip the women down naked and say they are not following tradition. I believe that the President, Bingu wa Murtharika, made a wise move towards a new way of thinking and getting more rights to the women to do what they please like by getting the attackers arrested.
