The Old Girls Association of the Federal Government Girls College, Kazaure , Lagos chapter, on Sunday urged mothers to inculcate the habit of decent dressing in girls from home in order to curb the incessant reports of sexual harassment and rape in the society.
The president of the association, Mrs Yomi Newton, a medical practitioner, said: "Let's blame parents for this development [indecent dressing], the mothers and even the fathers buy clothes for them at a tender stage, it is the style and concept a mother grooms in a child that she grows up with,...". She further added that attitudes are genetic and must be drawn from the father's or mother's genes.
Mrs Grace Oloye, a pastor attributed the trend to the indecent dressing among mothers. She said "The mothers do not dress well, and then what do you expect them to pass on to their girls? Some of them put on seductive outfits that are provocative."
Parents have been asked to take interest in the dressing of their children in order to prevent harassment in the society.
