The Women's Aid Organisation (WAO) has appealed to users on social media to stop doing the viral "mugshot challenge", according to a press statement.

The mugshot challenge requires users to put on makeup to achieve a heavily-bruised or battered look and then taking a photo. WAO has described the challenge as "harmful" and "massively problematic". Postings of the challenge are usually uploaded onto platforms like TikTok.
