Outrage at newspaper’s plea for photos of women in skirts ‘the shorter the better’

Metropol newspaper’s double-page spread that has sparked major backlash in Hungary

A newspaper has sparked outrage by inviting readers to submit photos of women wearing skirts – adding that ‘the shorter, the better’.

Hungary’s government-funded newspaper Metropol published a two-page spread on Wednesday, featuring what appear to be covertly taken photos of women in skirts on the metro.

The campaign has been branded disturbingly invasive, and one that would invite further street harassment of women and girls.
