The advice only makes sense. I man with lack of self control can defile a girl for her looks and then be disciplined but the fact will still remain that the child has been defiled. Prevention is better than cure!

If you are attracted to a mini skirt girls wear then you are not only a fool but mentally deranged and both you and Otiko need to be checked into a mental facility.

If you are attracted to a mini skirt girls wear then you are not only a fool but mentally deranged and both you and Otiko need to be checked into a mental facility.

Otiko is a disgrace to Ghana and it is only in Ghana that such a woman can be a minister who will never apologize for her stupid comments but she will justify it,what a shame.

What she said is to encourage rapists like you to rape girls as you have displayed here,even lunatics are not attracted to mini skirts as a way of making love.
She needs to resign,she is not fit to be a minister.

Otiko Djaba you have my vote of support on this. We need to be good teachers to our children.
In this world there is Truth,and there is Evil and we must not remain in the middle. The Bible tells to be either cold or hot and does not call us to be warm.

There is no study supporting the view that short skirts attract people to rape. I am an NPP sympathizer but she is wrong on this issue. Rape is violence against the victim period. Is like saying you were robbed because you were driving a Mercedes Benz and that attracted the robbers to you. Her comment was victim blaming.

Miss Otiko Djaba is right to give a sound of warning to the young girls of Ghana not to put up short dresses that exposes themselves to the opposite sex in order to avert possible rape. As a new minister for women and children Affairs,she had to be frank enough to hold the bull by the horn at addressing the unfurtunate manner in which girls put on unpardenable sex provoking dresses which lures men into temptation which forms part of the Change the NPP campaigned about to descipline our future mothers.

The advice you gave makes sense. I have been wondering why some sections of the topic are on your throat. I see those people as the ones who wishes that women, excuse me to say, can walk naked on the street and no no cares. We are a decent people in a decent nation and all these kind of nonsense arguments against what you said are full of nonsense. I hope some of these people have kids. Will they like to see their kids molested on the streets. No one doubts the fact that most men are driven or attracted to women based on what they see on the appearance of these women and it is about that a crusade is mounted in Ghana educating our women how to dress. No one would like his wife go to public functions dressed without panties on or dress exposing her boobs in public; that is absolutely nonsense and insane. Madam Otiko, nothing they will say against you via your comments on this issue will survive the test of time. I hope it happens to the daughter of one of these people and I wonder what their reaction will be.

The fact is that we are in a democracy ,those who agree with her should take her advice those who don't agree can encourage their daughters,sisters etc to wear short dresses ,after all she can't arrest you.

Those lambasting Otiko for what she said should ask themselves why prostitutes dress the way they do. Sometimes u go out and you see the way some ladies are dressed and wonder what on earth is happening. All societies have deviants whose actions are triggered by a lot of things, including the level of exposure of a woman. A woman's body was shaped by God to attract men, of course not for raping. But rapists also exist so its better to protect the young ones from evil attractions that say its their liberty to dress as they please. In the Bible some angels even couldn't stand the sight of earthly women and they came to earth to copulate with them. Let's be real

Weak-minded and people with very low IQs always write comments without justifying their reasons for writing them.Ms Djaba hit the nail on the head with her advice. Unsurprisingly, the responses are coming from weak-kneed idiots and people with mental set-up bordering on imbecility. Which mother will stand by and expect her daughter to be raped simply because the girl failed to dress decently? Let those men who have daughters wait till their ill-bred daughters are raped and then watch the trauma their daughters will go through later in life.

Ask any thief which one will attract their attention in their trade. The foolish guy holding and displaying money in plain view or, the wise man that has his money secured in his pants. Otiko makes a lot of sense. Expose your legs and butt, and the uncontrollable dick will jack up. Hide the same, and the dick will not misbehave or even pay attention. All those faulting Otiko are the ones who don't want to stop feasting their eyes on these provoking style of dressing. It makes me think, they're a bunch of potential .........!

Only people who don't have matured brain, or have sickness in their brain, or possibly rapist will criticize the Minister for the advice she gave to the girls.

What's wrong about the statement She's giving a wise advice to the kids as a good mother. If some fools doesn't get what she was getting at then may the good Lord have mercy on mother Ghana.

A crime is a crime. No excuse at all but preventive measures can be taken to prevent or minimise it. If you leave the gate to your house open and go to sleep. Won't that attract thieves? Is she wrong?

Is rape a big problem in Ghana? I've never been to the motherland, but reading articles like this frightens me....so if I walk down the street with an attractive dress men will come and rape me? Is Ghana that uncivilized?
