A Tipperary MEP has called for an end to Page 3 topless pictures
in Irish tabloids.
Phil Prendergast says its abhorrent, that in this day and age,
the practice is still continuing…
Speaking in Strasbourg, Phil Prendergast says the whole issue
of using pictures of topless women on page 3 of tabloids,
should be seen for what it is, which is the expolitation
and sexualisation of young women for the brazen purpose
of selling newspapers to men.
She has encouraged people to boycott these papers while
advertisers should also ask if they want to be associated with
such a practice.
She says that campaign being led in the UK has received upwards
of 50 thousand signatures and we should also look at having the same conversation
here in Ireland.
