Women in Morocco have reacted in horror after a programme on state television demonstrated how they could use makeup to cover up evidence of domestic violence.
The segment in the daily programme Sabahiyat, on Channel 2M, showed a smiling makeup artist demonstrating how to mask marks of beating, on a woman with her face made up to appear swollen and covered with fake black and blue bruises.
“We hope these beauty tips will help you carry on with your daily life”, the host said at the end of the segment, broadcast on 23 November – two days before the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

Because that’s so much more important than getting men to quit beating up their wives, right?
Well, it’s the least a woman can do after provoking a defenseless man into beating her. Don’t want to make him look bad in public as well.. #OutOfSightOutOfMind
There’s an even more effective beauty product, but it only works if you apply it liberally to the man’s face.
I can’t even….
