Here are some of the reasons why we still think it is important to protest about the Miss World contest.

We have nothing against women who choose to take part in beauty contests, however, we would say that the issue is not as simple as one of individual choice.

Basically, because holding beauty contests has an impact on all women.

The sexist idea that women should be judged on the basis of their appearance influences the way that all of us feel about ourselves as women and the way that men view and treat women.
