Would this Belgian billboard ad be banned by Berlin authorities? Photo: DPAOne of the parties in the Berlin government has set out its definition for what constitutes sexism in advertising, after Berlin agreed to ban sexist billboards last year. In their coalition agreement signing in 2016, Berlin’s “red-red-green” (Social Democrat-Left Party-Green Party) government agreed to ban advertising which sexualizes women on billboards rented out by the city. Tagesspiegel reported on Monday that the city government is also planning to ban what it deems to be sexist advertising on all billboards. In addition, the Left Party has applied for a ban on "mad men" following the oldest rule of their trade in the wealthy western district of Charlottenburg.
