Cheering, jeering and insulting women with large buttocks could land you in legal trouble

Dodoma. Cheering, jeering or insulting women with large buttocks in public places such as markets and bus terminals has been described as an indecent assault and a criminal offence, with police urging victims to report perpetrators so that legal action can be taken.

A resident of Dodoma, who identified herself as Mwajuma Ramadhani (not her real name), said she has repeatedly experienced humiliation when passing through crowded areas because of her body shape.
