Schoolgirl slams school for “slut-shaming”

'The length of my skirt or dress does not matter'

A 15-year-old student has made a strong speech about her school’s short skirt ban saying the “length of my skirt does not matter.”


Faith Sobotker, who attends Melbourne’s Kambrya College, protested against her school’s edict that girls stop wearing short skirts, make up, and sending “sexy selfies”.

‘You can’t tell me what lady-like is because we don’t live in the ’50s any more. I am looking for equality,” she said in a video posted to social media. The school was among many listed on a pornographic website which featured images of schoolgirls.


Faith said she was angered by how the school dealt with the issue. ‘It’s simply how they addressed the issue, they could’ve done so without being discriminating and without the slut shaming.’
