Gahongayire says that at many cases big women or girls are marginalized and some of them are dumped by their husbands who accuse them of being fat.<\/p>\n

She adds that this has created inferiority complex among them denying them a right to associate with others freely in their respective communities.<\/p>\n

According to Gahongayire, the show dubbed \u2018plus size fashion show\u2019 will showcase big ladies\u2019 own made attires.<\/p>\n
