A woman was reportedly stripped naked on the streets of Nairobi, Kenya by unknown men on Friday, November 7th, because she was “indecently dressed.” A video of the incident went viral, sparking outrage amongst many who launched a protest tagged
#MyDressMyChoice on social media. In the video, reportedly taken at a bus stop, the woman is seen surrounded by men who strip her naked and assault her for allegedly dressing improperly.
In the footage of the video on
AlJazeera, several men can be seen surrounding the woman and pulling at her clothes, as she tries to escape. Some sources allege that the men who stripped the woman are ticket collectors for a local bus company, but another report states that the company has denied that the men were staff members.
Many have taken to Twitter using
#MyDressMyChoice to condemn the assault:
