Beauty pageants are being questioned in recent years

Those who judge the participants value a series of characteristics: proportion and harmony of the body, facial features, elegance and personal style when wearing a clothing. In this type of contests, any intervention aesthetics that alter the natural beauty of women.

Miss Universe and other similar events are not without criticism. Some sectors consider that the image projected on women is negative and anachronistic.

In Argentina, the possibility of banning these contests is being considered because they are considered sexist and Feminist groups argue that the commodification of the female body fosters contrary values to equality between men and women.

In recent years, videos of misses answering basic questions of general culture have been gone viral and have highlighted the degrading image of women featured in these events.

From another point of view, some consider that these events promote absurd beauty canons, since the height and thinness of women are not related to beauty.

The contests of perfection have been extended to the world of female children. In this context, there are those who affirm that an image is projected that encourages child pornography pornography and violates the rights of girls.
