[QUOTE]Dubbed "the miniskirt law" by Uganda's media, the anti-pornography legislation was raised in parliament on Tuesday after the cases of harassment - some women have been publicly undressed for wearing miniskirts.
The prime minister and attorney general told MPs that the cabinet would recall the law to review it.

The police have issued a statement condemning those who engaged in "mob... undressing".

The BBC's Patience Atuhaire in Kampala says police trucks with officers in riot gear watched as the women gathered in the grounds of the national theatre carrying placards with a range of messages.

One read "my body my business", another "thou shalt not touch my miniskirt".
One of the event organisers said she was even harassed when she went to the police headquarters to seek permission to hold the march.

"I was wearing a dress I considered official. Policeman after policeman - low-ranking, high-ranking - they each told me, 'You cannot enter this place in that miniskirt,'" Patience Akumu told the BBC.[/QUOTE]

Isn't that counterintuitive?

I'm guessing the thought process they had was if you're going to dress like a whore, you're going to be treated like one.
