Peace......
Prostution is prevelant everywhere. And saying "christian countries" is very misleading. Simply because a majority of people in a particular country profess a belief in chrisitanity, does not mean that country is a "chrisitan country" And besides, Christians who follow the Bible have clear instruction as to dressing modestly, such as:
1stTimothy 2:9 - In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.
1stTimothy 2:10 - But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
The reason for this modesty in dress is also clearly explained.....
1stCorinthians 6:19 - What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1stCorinthians 6:20 - For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
For the Chrisitan who obeys the Bible, our body is not our own, so we must modestly cover it. As to the question asked at the beginning of this string, if the people spoken to are professing Chrisitans, show them these verses, they can either submit like they are supposed to, or continue in their sin.
