Ghanaian songstress and model, Sister Derby, has said that times have changed and hence asking kids not to wear skimpy clothes because they can be raped is stupid.

According to the “Kakalika Love” hitmaker, the only person to be blamed in situations like that is the rapist.

Speaking on Accra 100.5FM on Thursday, 21 March 2019, Sister Derby said:

“Teaching us in school or anybody telling your children not to wear short skirt or mini is stupid and very bad education, that means I can also say to you not to wear your expensive shirt, don’t wear your gold chain or don’t use a phone, it can be stolen from you”.

So, nobody has the right to somebody else’s body and without permission you are not allowed to touch someone’s body, so, my message is the only thing that causes rape in this whole world, in this universe, is a rapist,” she said.

Sister Derby also added that parents should stop asking their kids not to wear skimpy clothes. According to her, it is bad education.

“Telling your children not to wear short skirt or miniskirt is stupid and very bad education.When I was in junior high school and primary, I remember they [teachers] told us that if you wear a short skirt, it can lead to, maybe rape.

” I was taught that the syllabus and the education we got in school was based on the bible, but you see, times are changing and our minds are evolving and we are understanding the world and people better”, she said.

“As I was growing up, I realised that it was a very stupid thing they taught me in school – that do not wear short skirt, do not wear short clothes, a very stupid thing,” she added.
