Here’s a reminder of what girls and women still have to deal with.

Women around the world are still being banned, criminalised, or shamed for wearing clothes that are either too "revealing" or that cover up too much. There are numerous laws restricting what women can wear in countries ranging from France to Uganda. But it's not just laws that dictate how women should dress; slut-shaming and the policing of girls' school uniforms are also commonplace. Here are the items of clothing that have caused trouble for women this year so far.

Skirts

* In Uganda in February, women were banned from wearing of miniskirts. Some were even publicly undressed for wearing the garments. In response, 200 women protested in Kampala, the country's capital, demanding the government stop sexualising their bodies. * In England, more than 250 girls were removed from a school on the Isle of Wight in June because their skirts were too short. The headmaster said he wanted to prepare the students for the "world of work".

Women wore lace underwear on their head to protest.

* France's burqa ban was upheld by the European Court of Human Rights in July.

Niqab * In Australia, it was announced this month that Muslim women wearing niqabs could be forced to sit in glass enclosures instead of regular public galleries in Federal parliament. As Mariam Veiszadeh writes: "There's a distinct irony in the suggestion that women who are allegedly forced to wear a face covering should be forced not to wear it." * In response to laws that target hijabs, burqas, and niqabs, Australian women are now taking selfies in hijabs to "stand in solidarity with Australian Muslim women".
