Syria: Petition Urging Men to “Cover Up” Launched  · Global Voices
Amira Al Hussaini

Syrian blogger Omniya [Ar] has heard enough about people ordering her to cover up and that women are to blame for falling victims to sexual harassment. Now is her turn to launch a campaign calling for men to cover up and lower their gaze.
She explains her reasoning behind launching the campaign as follows:
Omniya explains how the Shariah (Islamic law) complaint dress code changes from one country to the other:
Not covering up, argues Omniya, exposes women and girls to sexual harassment:
If that is the case, argues Omniya, why are women who are not considered as beautiful also harassed?
Taking it a step further, Omniya, launches a petition here, and urges all her readers to sign it. The petition says:
Since females in the Arab region should wear a special uniform, since there are dozens of petitions asking females to cover themselves from top to toe, I think that arab men should do the same.
