First lady of Zimbabwe, Grace Mugabe has sparked outrage by suggesting women are to blame for rape because of the clothes they wear...really? That is a little OFFSIDE lady! Making excuses for rapist or blaming the victim is part of the problem, so stop it already!
Mrs Mugabe, 50, reportedly told rally-goers in Mberengwa, southern Zimbabwe that
"if you are raped, it's your fault"
Speaking in Shona, she reportedly castigated miniskirts and called on women to wear long dresses or trousers. Claiming that the type of dressing, which left women’s legs exposed, was a result of moral decadence.
"If you walk around wearing mini skirts displaying your thighs and inviting men to drool over you, then you want to complain when you have been raped? It’s unfortunate because it will be your fault."
The mother-of-four's comments are in contrast to those of her husband, President Robert Mugabe, who two months ago said his government was "seriously" considering castrating rapists.
