A keychain issued by the Colombian military for an anti-landmine campaign, showing a woman’s bra being taken off by a pair of feet, has been criticized by women and rejected by the government as “tasteless” and “disrespectful.”
A family commission in the town of Santa Rosa in the northern Bolivar department complained about the keychains which bear the logo: “Because your legs are used for more than just walking,” around a cartoon of a woman’s bra being taken off by a man’s feet.
Authorities further stated that the keychain not only “disrespected the dignity and essence of women” but was also not in line with their principles of human rights and human dignity, even promoting violence and the violation of women with the keychain.
