Report Weight Bias Issues
One of the OAC’s core focuses is eradicating weight bias, but we cannot do it alone. We need your help in finding weight bias issues. Weight bias is often thought of as the last acceptable form of discrimination in today’s society. It can be found in:
-
-
- Healthcare
- School
- Work
- Pop Culture (TV, Film, Internet)
- Employment
- And More!
-
Weight bias can have a very harmful impact on individuals, such as depression, anxiety and poor body image. From a social and physical aspect, weight bias can lead to social rejection by peers, unhealthy weight control practices and more. Simply stated – weight bias needs to STOP, and this is where YOU can help!
