This is the implication when a dress code is imposed that is specifically aimed at females because what we wear is considered likely to arouse or disturb males.
From the article...
"The refugees are marked by their own culture. Because our school is directly next to where they are staying, modest clothing should be adhered to, in order to avoid discrepancies. Revealing tops or blouses, short shorts or miniskirts
could lead to misunderstandings."
Admittedly there may be a translation problem here, but this implies that the imposed dress code is directed at more than merely preventing certain people being offended (which would be bad enough). It's straight-out victim-blaming.
How many times * do we see news stories about how girls' school uniforms and dress codes are being designed/redesigned to save

Words, like Nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within.
