Still, the association of the women’s fashion to the perception of gender and sexual violence in society remains problematic and simplistic. Although some believe that wearing revealing outfits for women calls for undue attention and even aggressive behavior, research has demonstrated that such thinking is very negative and incorrect.

The Victimization Blame Concept

There is a myth on a popular conception; this is the belief that how a woman dresses feeling whilst out may provokes and may even justify a sexual assault. This shifts command of the aggressor to that of the victim. This belief is catastrophic in that it encourages the victims to feel like they should not even try to report instances because they know there will be no justice hence creating an environment of quiet bearing of such acts without any consequences.

Social Hierarchies

Sexual assault exists for power over individuals rather than the exposed body of a female and what she wears. The victims are frequently attacked regardless of the clothing they are wearing and these factors are ways to provide strength and control over the victim. There’s a need to address the core issue whereby the problems and issues have arisen, such as why sexism, hatred towards women, and sexual consent education are all problematic.

Right to Clothing Choices

Women must wear what pleases them without the fear of harassment or even violence owned to them. What one wears is an art and should not be revered as a cause of any unwarranted and destructive demeanors. Societal expectation that blames women and promotes such societal damaging stereotypes has to be fought.
Encourage Consent and Respect

Instead of rallying around the notion that women should be dressed a certain way, we need to teach and promote the concept of consent, healthy interactions, and appropriate conduct. There is a great potential in addressing these issues among youth, especially prior to exhibiting any behaviors at risk of violence or inculcating rigid and harmful gender stereotypes aimed at society for its better and just conduct towards all individuals.

Conclusion: And this is the reason why it is crucial to speak out against the assumption that the way women dress influences the society’s gender roles and violence, especially sexual violence. The society need to be educated on the issues of underlying causes of sexual violence and the need for creation of a culture of respect and consent.
