It seems like Indonesia is a conflicted place. On one hand, the country’s announced some wildly progressive policies—and, on the other, some not-so-progressive.

For example, President Yudhoyono recently declared a moratorium on deforestation, in a globally conscious attempt to protect Indonesia’s valuable tropical forests—just in time for a moratorium on tight pants and jeans to take effect.

Twenty thousand long skirts have been distributed to Indonesia’s Muslim female populous, in an effort to enforce a dress code restricting women from wearing revealing clothing. Women caught violating the ban could face up to two weeks in detention, and shopkeepers selling short skirts or jeans could have their business licenses revoked. Bans on drinking alcohol, gambling and kissing in public have also been enforced in recent years.

At the same time, sex education classes are taught to Indonesian children at the kindergarten level, primarily focused on defending against potential sexual abuse. On the other hand, recent data has reported that as much as 25 percent of those kindergarten age children, some under the age of two years old, have smoked cigarettes. And 3.2% of those children are active smokers. Horrifying—and they’re probably allowed to wear tight pants, too.
