The Co-operative University Kenya is under fire over a poster linking rape to indecent dressing.
The advert is placed at the university's main gate.
The poster describes 'acceptable' dress code - with examples of women wearing such outfits.
"Dress how you want to be addressed," it says.
"A woman should always dress to be remembered not simply to be noticed."
Another message read, "Indecent dressing leads to sexual harassment and rape."
Some Kenyans on Twitter have lashed out at the institution;
As we commence on #16DaysofActivism here is Co-operative University with this extremely disturbing poster. Waaaah! "Indecent dressing leads to sexual harassment and rape"??? Really???

A whole banner saying "indecent dressing leads to sexual harassment and rape" is unacceptable. Rapists rape. Period. https://t.co/Ufc8A827WM
