Shocking tutorial on how to cover bruises with make-up. The absurd video of Moroccan TV on women's day
It seems a macabre joke, but unfortunately it is the hard truth: last November 25, while the International Day against Violence against Women was celebrated all over the world, in Morocco, the national TV channel 2M broadcast a shocking video-tutorial on how to cover bruises with make-up.
"Today we are talking about something that should never be said, but which unfortunately exists", thus begins the presenter of the well-known Sabahiate 2M morning program as she presents a young girl with bruised eyes, ready to be made up under the eyes of millions of viewers.
"Look carefully", continues the presenter, "I hope these tips are useful for your daily life, so even if you are beaten, you can safely leave the house, without anyone noticing that you have been beaten". Incredible, yet it is so, but that's not all, then we go on to list in detail the steps to take to better cover the bruises on the face caused by the blows with such a naturalness as to make it helpless, as if we were talking about the best foundation for a given skin type or lipstick shades to show off in winter 2016: "first put some powder, the powder will help you fix the makeup, then take a brush and a color similar to your skin, very patiently pass it on the bruise, until it is completely covered, then another layer of tinted base on the part of the color and again with the brush to cover the bruised part, so that's it you are ready to go out as if nothing had ever happened ”.

The reaction of the network was immediate, literally rising up against the video, which represents a real outrage to freedom and respect for women, so much so as to force the Moroccan channel to delete the video from its on-demand site and via Facebook, apologizing to viewers for the "Lack of sensitivity" and "the" editorial error "," in spite of many years of struggle alongside women. "Everything was made even more shocking by the choice to publish the absurd material on the day that celebrates women and condemns all kinds of violence against them. In fact, it is no secret that femicide is now a worrying phenomenon in today's reality: the data speak for themselves and the mentality that we try to promote through a conscious culture is certainly not the one that pushes women to cover bruises and silence but on the contrary. , who exhort them to denounce and to affirm their freedom, condemning disrespectful behavior and violent men.
For this reason, we at alfemminile in honor of the International Day against Violence against Women, have clearly expressed our opinion on this and how necessary it is to stand up for women and their freedom.
