Oversexualised music stars: men discuss - Gloucester

Kevin Philemon and Primrose Granville

Available for over a year

Music videos are under fire amid claims they over-sexualise and demean young black women. That's according to a female empowerment campaign group, which has launched a campaign for better protection. The End Violence Against Women (EVAW) Coalition, Imkaan and OBJECT are now working together to call for age restrictions on music videos sold in shops or viewed online. It follows growing concern that young female artists like Rihanna and Miley Cyrus are baring more and more flesh to maintain their popularity. In this clip, BBC Radio Gloucestershire’s Kevin Philemon debates the subject with a group of men.
