Does beauty empower or exploit?
ReplyDeleteHow is beauty defined in Africa? Is there such a thing as a distinctly African look?
Beauty pageants are in full swing in countries like Sierra Leone, Ghana and Malawi. Among the prizes are a first class trip to the UK, a car and the duty of charitable work.
Meanwhile the mobile phone company Nokia is holding a Face of Africa 2006 competition to bring African beauty to the international stage. The finals are to be held next week.
But are such pageants and competitions outdated? Do they do more than sexualising the image of women? Can such shows fulfil a mixture of beauty and brains? Or are they just another form of exploitation? It's a subject not limited to women - more and more beauty services are now available to men. Looking good is becoming more and more important in some places, but how is male beauty defined?

Bwana Tungaraza this thing(beaut competitions) has two effects. It is a form of sexual exploitation and economic exploitation. Many companies or individuals who host these contests are making money otherwise, they would not waste their time, or give away the things like cars and cash prizes for the so called winners.
