In her remarks on the floor of the assembly, Natasha Osawaru spoke at length about the cultural significance of dressing in Benin society, stressing that modest attire is not merely a fashion choice but a deeply rooted tradition.
"Mr. Speaker, my matter of urgent importance is the inappropriate ways that our women in Edo state dress these days. The motion is to caution indecent dressing in Edo state," she said.
She went further to paint a picture of what Benin womanhood historically represented, citing the well-tied hat, decent blouse, and neatly arranged coral beads as hallmarks of the Benin woman's identity.
"Edo state is an ancestral state with high value and traditions. You will see our young beautiful women indecent on the streets. Dressing is a major part of Benin culture. In Benin culture and tradition, a woman dressed in the paid dignity, modesty, royalty and good home trade," she told the assembly.
Natasha Osawaru did not limit her observations to public spaces.
She noted that the problem had crept into professional environments, including the state legislature, where she said she had personally intervened on multiple occasions.
"Even in the state of Assembly here I have corrected a lot of our workers," she stated, indicating that the motion was driven by firsthand experience rather than abstract concern.
Her address drew support from fellow legislators present during the session, suggesting the motion found some resonance within the house.
