OUAGADOUGOU (Reuters) – The government of Burkina Faso has banned an annual beauty contest for women with the biggest buttocks, saying such events are sexist.
Adverts for this weekend’s third edition of ‘Miss Bim-Bim’, carrying an image of two fully clothed women with exaggeratedly large behinds, provoked an outcry on social media.
“Our role is to do everything to avoid damaging the image of women,” said Minister Laure Zongo in a statement, adding that social media criticism had persuaded her to act.
The male organizer of the event, Hamado Doambahe, said it aimed to promote a more positive body image for African women and encourage fashion designers to use African costumes. Â MORE

If it degrades women, how come the women doing it don’t believe they’re degraded?
I think we have a few contestants here locally, I think they would fit into Burkina Faso society too.
What goes on in Ouagadougou, stays in Ouagadougou.
