Couple of days ago, a video
of a woman who was stripped naked because she was wearing mini skirt went viral
on the internet around the world, it was some group of touts, drivers and
conductors who had committed this act, some people delight in jungle justice
but others insisted that it was uncalled for…
The recent incident force
the police to identify the men involved; and are appealing to the lady to come
forward and press charges.
Police spokesperson Chief
Superintendent Paul Nyathi said
"We want to thank the
public for their assistance in this case and we are hoping to finalise the
matter any-time if the woman comes forward," he said.
He appealed to commuter
omnibus owners not to employ touts for the safety of the public.
Women organisations on
Friday condemned the harassment of the young woman by the touts and urged the
police to immediately arrest the criminals. They also called for the removal of
touts from all commuter omnibus ranks.
Women Coalition board
member Ms Nyaradzo Mashayamombe described the incident as barbaric.
"It might appear as an
act directed at one woman, but its effect is to damage our children
psychologically, dehumanise women and present us as a lawless nation," she
said.
"As women of Zimbabwe,
we will not stand by and watch women being harassed and humiliated," she
said.
"Real men do not
violate women's rights! Those who are not real men and harass women like this
belong to the Department of Prisons and Correctional Services," she said.
AIDS communications
director Ms Tariro Makanga said "Enough is enough. This is our last time
to talk as women. Now we want action," she said.
"Even if a woman is
wearing next to nothing, no man has the moral ground to even lay a finger on
her," posted one irate woman.
"Stripping a woman is
an act of cowardice but women should also consider their dress code when in
public places.

in regardless to what she wears women are humans not animal, it is unacceptable
