“The French senate has approved a proposal to ban beauty contests for girls under 16 to prevent what a parliamentary report called the ‘hyper-sexualisation’ of children. The measure follows a parliamentary report ‘Against Hyper-Sexualisation: A New Fight For Equality’ which called for a ban on child-size adult clothing, such as padded bras and high-heeled shoes. ‘Let us not make our girls believe from a very young age that their worth is only judged by their appearance,’ said the author of the report, former sports minister Chantal Jouanno. According to the proposal, organisers of such beauty pageants could face up to two years in prison and a 30,000-euro ($40,000) fine.”
