In Medellín we have our eyes on sex tourism.
We are not “asses” to sell. Together with the Police and Public Space, we dismantled a fence that encouraged sex tourism and the objectification of women.

The clearing of advertising, explained the official, was to comply with the Law 140 of 1994 that regulates visual outdoor advertising in the national territory and that “prohibits that this threatens the integrity and human rights of people”. On the fence you could read: “Medallo’s asses”

The performance of the Women’s Secretariat was celebrated by several users in networks who wrote: “Medellín cannot grow around sex tourism. Tourism yes, but sustainable, responsible and ethical” and “The main concern of Medellín today must be the sex tourism that is enslaving women in the city. Citizen and state action is urgently needed to abolish this practice.”
