You couldn't make it up

A PROGRAMME BROADCAST on Moroccan state television advised women on how to cover up bruising and other evidence of domestic violence using makeup.

The feature was shown during a daily programme called Sabahiyat on the television station 2M, broadcast on 23 November.

It shows a cosmetic artist demonstrating how to cover up the signs of violence on a woman sitting in her makeup chair.

The supposed bruising on the model’s face was also created using makeup.

The segment was broadcast as a tie-in with the UN’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, celebrated on Friday 25 November
