The association “Osez le féminisme” announced last October to take legal action against the Miss France organization at the Prud’hommes for violation of labor law. Alexia Laroche-Joubert, producer of the show, recognizes that the competition needs to be modernized and modifies its operation.
An employment contract for candidates for Miss France. This was the main demand of the association “Osez le féminisme”, also very critical of the principle of beauty contests and the criteria for selecting candidates. The feminist association announced last October that it was attacking the Miss France organization at the Prud’hommes for violation of labor law. Miss France announces that the regional Misses this year will finally have a work contract.
Tattoos and celibacy
The regional Misses, who this year number 29, will compete for the title of Miss France on December 11. The announcement of the establishment of employment contracts for the candidates was made on Wednesday, during the press conference for the presentation of the show, by the producer and new president of the Miss France company, Alexia Laroche Joubert. She did not give details on the amount of compensation, nor the conditions.
Faced with criticism from the association “Osez le féminisme”, Alexia Laroche Joubert recognized that the competition needed to be modernized. She admits that on tattoos, the Miss France organization may have been “restrictive”. Just like on the use of the legal term “single”. The producer regretted not being able to discuss with the feminists. “They only want one thing: to kill the contest,” she said.
