The petition said: 'As Moroccan women and as feminist activists in Morocco, and in the name of all Moroccan people, we denounce the message of normalization with violence against women. We demand severe sanctions against this show, 'Sabahiyat', and the channel 2M.

In a statement released on Sunday, the state TV station admitted that the controversial makeup tip had been broadcast ‘in total contradiction with the editorial line of the channel.’  

The station also offered its ‘most sincere apologies for this misjudgment' and promised to take action against those responsible for the broadcast.
