Bebe 17,289 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 The fibroMalaysian Government's plan to introduce a dress code for Muslim women in the workplace has sparked a backlash from women's rights groups, which accuse officials of acting like "fashion police". Women in the Muslim-majority country, which has a large population of ethnic and religious minorities, have been barred from government offices in the past for attire that officials deemed as indecent, such as skirts or shorts. Those who work in the civil service already have to follow regulations that typically prohibit women from wearing sleeveless tops or skirts above knee level. But the Government has now said it is in the final stage of drawing up guidelines for Muslim women in the private sector, which will comply with Islamic principles. No details have been made public, but Malaysian women's rights groups condemned the dress code. Tan Heang Lee of the Women's Aid Organisation branded it as "dehumanising". "There has been a trend where various agencies attempt to police women's bodies and their clothing," she said. "Why is there this obsession with what women wear? They should be focusing on women's talent and capability. The last thing we should be thinking of is the length of a woman's skirt."

It's known for its Dress Code for women. Now I see why this country would be an issue for Gaga. What irks me is that other performers that are known for their sexy bodyshapes were allowed to perform there (Katy Perry etc.). diana’s advocate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
