On Wednesday police announced that 15 men had been arrested in connection with the incident, prompting President Bingu wa Mutharika to defend women’s right to wear whatever they liked.
Until 1994, women in this deeply conservative poor nation were banned from wearing pants, during the long dictatorship of Kamuzu Banda.
“Malawian women want to take back their dignity,” said Seodi White, one of the organisers of the protest.
“There should be no difference between men and women,” she said.
