Miss World 2014: Protest Against The Beauty Pageant Was Unsuccessful Due To The Cold Weather

Miss World isn't simply known for its fabulous champs and concentrates on 'world peace' - it's additionally celebrated for pulling in the consideration of women's activists.

The last time the event was held in London in 2011, in excess of 200 women's activists met up to challenge against the "sexist" rivalry.

At the same time not long from now, only five ladies from the London Feminist Network tried to turn up to exhibit against the expo on its 64th celebration.

One of the feminists pointed out the poor participation for the 'cold and Christmas'.

Emily Sawyer, who composed the challenge, said: We had a lot of apologies because of transport problems and Christmas commitments which is inevitable at this time of the year.

"I'm worried it [the lack of people] might make [our protest] not seem so enthusiastic but people showed a lot of support online and that matters as well.

"You always do what you can, don't you?"

She said that in 2011, the last occurred prior in the year thus actively present people were not influenced by Christmas engagements.

Be that as it may the women's activists that did show still made their emotions clear about the challenge by holding signs with messages, for example, "End sexism, end Miss World" and "Miss World = Old world misogyny."

Sawyer said: "We don't think there's a spot for such a sexist and old fashioned challenge in 2014.

Sawyer said: "We don't think there's a place for such a sexist and outdated contest in 2014.

"Having women judged by the way they look is damaging to all women because it affects the way we see ourselves, and the way we're viewed by men.

"We don't blame any women involved in this competition."

English women's activists initially dissented against Miss World in 1970 when it was held in London.

In the not so distant future it was at London's Excel, and 121 nations struggled it out for the title.

South Africa's Rolene Strauss was delegated Miss World 2014, while England's Carina Tyrrell entered the main five yet passed up a major opportunity for the desired spot.
