For some months now the page 3 of the Sun Newspaper which usually contains semi naked photos of young British models largely in their late teens and early twenties has been a subject of debate in the British media. Last week, a sister newspaper announced that the Sun was stopping the publication of this page 3 for good. Campaigners against the publication were delighted over this news. However, this jubilation was short lived after the Sun newspaper came out to dismiss the claims of the demise of its page 3. The number of people against the publication of page 3 of the Sun newspaper is large. As of last week, it was rumoured that up to 250,000 people have signed up to an online petition asking the Sun newspaper to scrape the page 3. For these campaigners, having nude photos of young women in one of the leading British newspapers does not only belittles women but also is sexism dating back to 45years ago and should be stopped. There is no room for this type of misogyny
