Modesty patrol

A modesty patrol is a group of people who are in charge of making sure that everyone is dressed appropriately in public places. They want to make sure that people are not showing too much skin or wearing clothes that are too revealing.

Think of it like when your parents tell you to put on clothes that cover your body when you go outside. The modesty patrol is like the parents of the community, watching over everyone to make sure they are dressed properly.

Similarly, like you might get reminded by your parents to close your legs or cover your shoulders, the modesty patrol reminds adults about the importance of dressing appropriately in public places. Just like how your parents have rules for you, the modesty patrol has rules for adults.

The modesty patrol is a way to maintain a certain standard of behavior in public and to make sure that everyone is comfortable and respectful towards each other. So, the next time you see someone reminding another person to dress modestly, you now know what the modesty patrol is all about.
