A notice posted by the university said “It has come to our attention that some
female students dress half-naked as they use the library, a situation which is
disturbing the male students.”
One of Zambia’s top universities has
issued a memo urging all female students to desist from visiting the library
“half-naked” since it distracts their male colleagues.
The University of Zambia which is located in the capital,
Lusaka has posted notices around its library for the female students to act
accordingly.
“It has come to our attention that some female
students dress half-naked as they use the library, a situation which is
disturbing the male students,” reads
the notice.
“We, therefore, advise the
female students to dress modestly as you use university facilities. Modesty is
the way to go!”
However, some female students are unhappy
with this development.
A third-year student Dikina Muzeya told BBC
that she
does not understand how a male student will be distracted if his main aim in
the library is to study.
“If your mission of going to the library is to
study, why should you start looking at other things like a female’s legs?”
“Just concentrate on your books, that’s all.”
But Killion Phiri, a male student, said the decision will
help the boys concentrate on their books.
“You know how attractive women bodies are. How
can you concentrate on studying when someone walks in a mini skirt or a tight
dress. You’ll start thinking about other things and you won’t concentrate.”
