A national TV channel has aired a tutorial for women on how they can cover up the bruises from domestic violence.
After discussing the best make-up brands for heavy coverage, the hosts says: ‘We hope these beauty tips will help you carry on with your daily life.’
As if being assaulted by your partner was a normal fact of life, like getting a spot on your face, and that you should carry on after it as if nothing had happened.
The women’s daily show aired on Moroccan state TV on November 23 and has attracted a lot of criticism for the way it normalises assault and sends a message to women that they should just cover it up.
