Mozambique university bans ‘improper dressing’

-

In a notice stuck on walls at Unizambeze university, administrators prohibit women from wearing:

 Tight-fitting dresses
Miniskirts
Sleeveless tops

Cleavage-showing tops
See-through cloths
Slippers
Body tights
Ripped jeans and
Blouses showing bras.

 It also bans men from wearing:

 Vests
Shorts
Ripped jeans
Low-waist trousers and
Slippers and
Plaiting their hair.

 Reaction to the ban has been mixed, but most people I spoke to said it was “appropriate for the African culture” and an “important rule to ensure decency in a learning institution.”

 * The notice does not refer to dreadlocks, as earlier reported.

Following the backlash that trailed her performance at Shatta Wale's Reign Concert over the weekend, Ghanaian singer,  Fantana  has now released a statement.  The singer stated that she is not ashamed of being a woman and also mesntruating. Her statement read in part;  "Regardless of my costume being transparent, my only option was to put on a sanitary pad and still go ahead to perform. I am a woman and I’m not ashamed of menstruating. "I want to urge every woman to resist being discriminated against because of menstruation. I hope some people read wide and learn about menstrual health to stop the stereotype against young girls and women. "Yes my menses appeared 30 minutes to my performance and I had to put on a sanitary pad and still go on stage. "Menstruation is not a shame and I urge all young women take a cue from my actions and not to let it stop them from doing anything they want to do."
