Kids today are growing up in a digital world that constantly bombards them with unrealistic and biased body and beauty ideals. This online influence can lead to very real offline threats to children’s health. While girls are at particular risk, no kid is immune. That is why our kids need a new front line of defense from harmful body and beauty ideals, one that stays ahead of the health threats by tackling both cause and effect.
While we can’t legislate body confidence, we can change laws to make it harder for children to be targeted by empty promises of underregulated diet pills and dietary supplements, sexist and racist digital distortion of body size, shape, and skin shade in ad images, and discrimination based on size and shape. That’s where you come in!
