Introduce health warnings on edited images of women's bodies in advertising

Petition Details

Introduce a warning on edited images of the female body in advertising. Discourage companies from presenting unrealistic & digitally altered bodies to women & young girls. Research shows that this lessens the known negative effects of viewing media images that feature this thin ideal.

Additional Information

The average Brit encounters 5000 ads a day.At the centre of many of these ads is an ever more unrealistic, & increasingly digitally-altered image of a woman.Women & girls compare themselves to these images every day & failure to live up to them is inevitable because they are based on a flawlessness that doesn’t exist.The fake,photoshopped ideal of beauty has become so pervasive that 50% of 3-6 yr old girls worry about their weight.1 in 3 women will experience disordered eating in their lifetime.
