Indonesia - Indonesia Considering Banning Short Skirts


Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali says he is considering a regulation that women’s skirts should pass their knees as a follow-up to the recent establishment of the government’s anti-porn task force.

The task force is currently discussing measures to tackle pornography, including a probable need to tell women how to dress.

“We think that there should be general criteria [on how women should dress], for example women’s skirts should pass their knees,” Suryadharma said in Jakarta on Wednesday.

He added the task force was currently collecting inputs from the public as to the details of what should be classified as pornography activities and best measures to cope with them.

Suryadharma admitted definition of pornography could be subjective, but added, “There must a universal measure for that.”

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono issued on March 2 a decree on the establishment of the anti-porn task force to support the implementation of the controversial 2008 pornography law.
