A town in Argentina has become the first in the country to ban beauty queen competitions.

Argentina town bans 'sexist' beauty competitions _79880010_024695802-1

The town council of Chivilcoy, in the Buenos Aires region, said the contests were sexist and encouraged violence against women.

It said they encouraged an obsession with physical beauty and illnesses like bulimia and anorexia.

In Latin America the beauty pageant often serves as a springboard for a career in television or entertainment.

A number of Latin America's television personalities have won major beauty competitions and with it, celebrity status and lucrative careers.

The council said that from now on Chivilcoy's festivities and anniversaries would be celebrated by recognising the achievements of young people.

They said the contests will be replaced with carnival mask competitions and prizes for volunteering.

Correspondents say a debate has been emerging for some time in Argentina about the validity of beauty competitions.
