Girls, who dress themselves up in skirts or jeans, are looked upon with a demeaning gaze and are often called with 'names'.  Instead of making the society safer for women and punishing the rapists, the ban on jeans, short skirts and other western looks for a woman is considered as a solution for sexual harassment.From temples to educational institutes and government offices, here are some places in India where girls can't wear jeans or skirts.1.
