The situation is no different in this northeast African nation where women who dress “indecently” are liable to strict punishments such as public flogging. In fact, in 2015, nine women were given 40 lashes in public. Their crime? Wearing western-style slacks! The punishment, which may be linked to sharia law, does not only apply to women, however. Men have also being convicted and dealt with by authorities for dressing indecently and wearing make-up.
