Dress Code in Nigeria

A well-written and fascinating article about a bill in Nigeria to regulate dress code and sexual harassment of women:

One point that jumped out at me, "If the Bill had passed, large communities would have been forced to re-adjust their socio-cultural perspective to one which sexualises states of nudity or semi-nudity"

This said b/c many women in rural areas wear minimal clothing.

It reminded me of Adam and Chava (Eve) before eating of the fruit of good and evil were in a pure state and were not disturbed by their nakedness...

G-d bless!
