Summary
People face appearance-based discrimination on a daily basis, at work, in schools and in public spaces. In addition, a decade of soaring social media use, increased exposure to online advertising and a persistent and pervasive diet culture mean that concerns about the way we look start younger, last longer, and affect more people than ever before.
In 2020, the UK Government commissioned an inquiry into how negative body image effects people's lives and what factors lead people into having a negative body image.
This report published in April 2021 is the result of the Women and Equalities commission's investigation.
