The Special Adviser to the President on Ethics and Moral Values, Sarah Jibril, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Monday said that indecent dressing by ladies was an open invitation to assault or even rape.
Jibril also advised parents to serve as role models to their children, providing them with the needed attention and regulating the kind of movies they are exposed to and watch at home.
“Parents should monitor their children even though some of them try to dress decently at homes but when they go back to school especially those in the high institutions, they dress indecently. Parents, therefore, should monitor their children by ensuring that the clothing they take to school were properly checked and ensure that you ask your children questions and be close to them.
Parents should not be too harsh or too strict to avoid scaring them away and anything that concerns them should not be taken for granted. Show them love and mentor them; more importantly, always pray for them for God’s guidance and direction.
Our religious leaders should always preach against indecent dressing. Such dressing is not African culture. We go round the states preaching to our youths telling them to be mindful of the kind of cloth they wear,” Jibril said.
Jibril further confirmed that her office is collaborating with other security agencies on this menace to the society, stating that the one of the goals of the partnership was to ensure that those who dress indecently are corrected by the agency.
