Pérez-Rosario, Vanessa
- Abstract
The article talks about the relationship between beauty and social protest by focusing on the 2017 Miss Peru beauty pageant that used the platform to share statistics of violence against women in the country. Topics discussed include beauty having a history of being used to reinforce sexism, racism and hierarchies, and the pageant protest being part of a larger political movement against feminicide and violence against women in Latin America and around the world.
