Before Christmas, there was a so-called “Mini-Skirt” march in Manzini to bring attention to the fact that women are harassed and even raped at the bus rank for wearing short skirts. Police said they could only march if they put on longer skirts…so the girls did, and then did a big rant in Jubilee Park, “Sister sister, my vagina belongs to me and nobody else.” Here’s the fruit of their labours..a law banning mini skirts, but not the annual ceremony before the king where everything hangs out. What a country! Check this link..
