Body image activism

Body image activism involves efforts to challenge and change societal ideals about how bodies should look. It aims to promote acceptance of diverse body types, combat unrealistic standards driven by media and advertising, and encourage individuals to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin. This activism often includes campaigns, education, and sharing stories to raise awareness about body shaming, promote mental well-being, and foster a culture that celebrates all sizes, shapes, and appearances without judgment or discrimination.
