INDECENT DRESSING

By nfcs -

Indecent dressing is the deliberate exposure of one’s body to the public. It is widely seen and described as a social malady in the society especially amongst youths. This practice does not conform to the norms and values of the society particularly the African society.
Indecent dressing is common in public places like the University, offices and even Churches. Female Youths seem to take it a pleasure in the act of exposing their bodies to the opposite sex without considering the dangers attached to it.
Africans are known for their culture and dignity whereas the urge for western culture and modernization is destroying our way of life and negatively affecting our youths.
This practice is the major cause of various assaults and sexual harassment recorded in the society over time. In the name of fashion, some ladies dress half naked to functions wearing bomb shorts, armless tops, hot bosom and so on.
Indecent dressing has so many effects. Partakers are termed as prostitutes, robbers and so on. Indecent dressing does not improve but rather ruins ones image and reputation and thus the saying “The way you dress, is the way you are addressed”. Indecent dressing also displays a rebellious attitude.
However, there are various ways of curbing indecent dressing. They include;
-Parents should always promote the culture of decent dressing especially if it involves attending special functions.
-The dress code introduced in higher institutions should be obeyed.
-Religious institutions should always promote the culture of decent dressing.
-The mass media should promote decency especially amongst youths.
Indecent dressing promotes rape, sexual harassment and other immoral advances from the opposite sex.
Also, in as much as we are entitled to our own opinion, we should dress moderately, According to standards to avoid a bad name and humiliation. Dressing decently makes you mature, responsible and loved by all because everyone loves and appreciates good things.

As written By Peace Marcel Daura, 100level student of the Department of Mass Communication, University of Maiduguri.
