It must be the toilet seat. Arrest the darned toilet seat!
It'll be interesting if the reports of harassment or violence against women mention the choice of the girl's dressing. It is believed that Islamic dress code averts harassment or sexual assault.
All the same it is time for both genders to realise the need for respect to each other to lead a life free from violation of one's rights to life, person and property. Males should not think of women as sex objects. They have equal rights as do men to enjoy a life without interference by men.
Given the corrupt Police Force and our chuvanistic fed Islamic thinking teaches our men and women that a girl's dress wear is to be blamed if she gets harassed or raped, it will be a wonder if this girl gets any justice at all. In fact, I'm sure a few weeks from now, no one would even remember this. Isn't that how the world works? And we would be talking about another girl who was harassed or raped or abused.
We need this issue to be truly brought to the forefront and actions that have substance be taken so that the social fabric that allows and perpetrates these actions to happen in the first place be changed.
