How Offensive Is Nakedness In Ghana's Culture Now?

Governments have the power to enforce their laws but in the enforcement that we see those that are repressive or otherwise. Is a woman exposing herself consciously or inadvertently to her own child, without indecent touching, on a special day illegal? Are we not raising the children to be ashamed of our body, so they grow to be ignorant about it, then we go and engage foreigners who know, to teach them as we go and pray hard that they do not teach them "wrong things" in sexuality! Where is our "freedom of expression" anyway?

Scaring the children off our bodies, forgetting that intimate knowledge of the body is required in courses like human biology in medicine, Fine Art etc. Anatomy in medicine very obvious; Fine Artists also need to understand the anatomy of the human figure to depict them well directly or appreciate the contours of the fabric clothing them. How would such body-shamed children find it comfortable in physically helping others of the opposite sex if they are not comfortable going near them?

Or is it about its publication? This pose that is not offensively "revealing" should not be labeled as "pornographic"? Note that this is what the modeling business is doing as decently as possible as in this picture to celebrate nature's beauty. A pornographic picture on the other hand would show a frontal provocative/suggestive pose, possibly with open legs etc.

Well, such innocuous intimate exposure is common in our homes since most children within this age group are still being bathed, dressed and groomed by their mothers. By the way, is it acceptable for a parent to see their child's nakedness? The fact that the knife/cutlass can kill does not mean a child shouldn't be allowed to see it, or does it? It is better to show them in addition to the helpful education about it.

Showing private domestic videos to the public is a knowledge sharing for information and education. Stop it through any form of intimidation and it will be the recipe for misinformation and ignorance. Have we not appreciated how social media's private videos have been helping transparency and revelations in the prosecution of crimes recently.

Obviously, moralists may never approve the modeling/fashion business, just as they won't do for the production of alcoholic beverages for example, but I am sure moral issues are not criminal to warrant the arrest by the police. Our cultural norms from our diverse ethnic backgrounds should better be fashioned together for our national development than applying the "power-show" for scapegoating.

So it is my considered opinion that the recent alleged indecent exposure accusation against a vixen has to be handled carefully in order not to stifle assertiveness among Ghanaians and disrupt the very cordial relationship between mother and son to the latter's disadvantage.
