Citizens Want Legislation of Dress Code NewTimesRwanda: Rwanda

A research conducted by Rwanda Cultural Heritage Academy on modern fashion has recommended legislating the way people dress in the country in order to keep the Rwandan culture of"decency".

This comes after decades of debate on what is more culturally appropriate when it comes to fashion, most arguments focusing on covering up one's body and 'overly' revealing clothes. Most of what was perceived 'indecent' by respondents include short skirts and dresses,"transparent" clothes, sagging pants and shorts, among others.

"We need to educate people and put this in practice. That is why we need stakeholders such as schools and education institutions. If we have sessions about morality, that is when these toolkits will be useful," Masozera said.
