Photo from the assault video
A woman was stripped naked, down to her birthday suit in the middle of central Nairobi last Tuesday. And after a video of the incident made its way online, it sparked a bitter outrage.

According to reports, the woman was attacked because she was dressed provocatively. She was at a bus stop when men believed to be touts surrounded her, ripped her clothes off, kicked her in her private parts and called her 'Jezebel' for "tempting" them amid her screams and cries for help.

The video of the assault was caught on camera by a guy who made sure he got all her lady parts in
the video and later on posted on Youtube. He was not even interested in stopping the public humiliation. Youtube eventually took the video down.

Social media users debated the incident using hashtag #MyDressMyChoice and even on Choc City singer Victoria Kimani's IG page some hours ago, she had to lash out at her followers who blamed the lady for dressing provocatively in the first place. Read the reactions below.

















A demonstration in support of the woman is scheduled to occur tomorrow at Uhuru Park.
