A number of students of St. Francis College for Women UG and PG held a protest against administration’s new dress code in Hyderabad on September 16. The college management had recently started enforcing an old dress code which specifies that the tops or ‘kurtis’ that the women wear should reach below the knees. Several students were stopped by security guards who told them that their kurtis were an inch above the knee and thus would not be allowed to attend classes. Stating that the college was indulging in moral policing, the students held placards and protested. The messages written on the placard were-‘The only issue is your mentality’ and ‘Dress codes promote rape culture’ etc.
