A Twitter campaign that links foreigners dressing in skimpy clothing to sexual assault is stirring controversy in Abu Dhabi, as a proposed law to enforce a dress code in public places in the United Arab Emirates gains momentum.
Two Emirati women started an online campaign, UAE Dress Code, last month, but came under criticism after linking revealing clothing and sexual assault.
One of the women behind the campaign, Asma Al Muhairi, 23, told Abu Dhabi newspaper The National she regretted the tweet, but stood by her views.
