At least 200 people have protested in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, after a group of men tore off a woman’s clothes for wearing a miniskirt.<\/p>\n

The protesters chanted “Shame on you” and handed out flowers at a bus rank where the attack took place, the BBC’s Anne Soy reports from the scene.<\/p>\n

At a rival demonstration, about 20 men chanted “Dress up. We don’t want this.”<\/p>\n

Kenya is a conservative society, where activists complain that women’s rights are often violated, our reporter says.<\/p>\n

A mother’s group, Kilimani Mums, organised the protest after a video of the attack went viral on social media last week.<\/p>\n

\"Protest<\/div>\n
Activists say the government has not done enough to protect the rights of women<\/div>\n
\"Protest<\/div>\n
Both Christians and Muslims took part in the protest<\/div>\n

It sparked outrage among Kenyans, with the hashtags#MydressMychoice and #strippingshame trending on Twitter on Saturday and Sunday, the local Daily Nation newspaper reports.<\/p>\n

Deputy President William Ruto entered the debate, saying Kenya was not a “primitive” society and the men who stripped the woman should be arrested.<\/p>\n

Both men and women, some dressed in miniskirts, marched to the bus rank and the offices of police chief David Kimaiyo, demanding an end to violence against women.<\/p>\n

Protesters accused taxi touts of stripping the woman.<\/p>\n

Rival protesters gathered outside Mr Kimaiyo’s office, and were joined by a conservative Christian group chanting: “We are a God-fearing nation.”.<\/p>\n

Mr Kimaiyo has appealed to the unnamed woman to lodge an official complaint with police so that the incident can be investigated.<\/p>\n
