Women in Swaziland risk arrest if they wear miniskirts or tops which exposé part of their stomach as they will be violating moral standards, a police spokesperson has said. “The act of a rapist is made easy, because it would be easy to remove the half-cloth worn by the women,” Wendy Hleta was quoted as saying. Offenders face a six-month jail term under the ban, which invokes a colonial criminal act dating back to 1889.
