A Member of Parliament (MP) in Tanzania was told to leave the National Assembly because of her tight-fitting trousers on Tuesday (June 1). "Go dress up well, and...Join us back later," the Speaker Job Ndugai told Condester Sichwale, a female Tanzanian lawmaker. Ndugai said this after a male MP said, "Some of our sisters are wearing strange clothes...What are they showing to the society?" Legislator Hussein Amar argued that Parliament was a reflection of society, citing a portion of Parliament's rules forbidding female legislators from wearing tight jeans. Following this, women lawmakers in Tanzania have called for an apology to Sichwale.
