MEXICO WOMEN — Mexican deputies seek vote on beauty contest ban

Mexico is considering to hold a parliamentary vote for banning beauty contests in the country because such events are a form of symbolic violence against women.

In a virtual meeting on Friday, the Gender Equality Commission of Chamber of Deputies said its members were working on three aspects: to include symbolic and media violence, gender parity reforms, and consolidate the concept of re-victimization. EFE-EPA
