(MENAFN - The Conversation) #EverydayLookism is a campaign which shares lookist stories. Lookism is appearance discrimination and the most common form of bullying as reported in the Annual Bullying Survey by DITCH THE LABEL, but unlike sexist or racist bullying, it is too often accepted as normal.
We don t put up with sexist comments, we shouldn t put up with lookist comments. The Everyday Sexism project shared sexist stories, we share lookist stories to show its not ok. We should be ashamed of bodyshaming, not of our bodies.
The #EverydayLookism Facebook Live series is three live panel discussions on: Body image as a public health issue; Appearance bullying and lookism; and Mental health and body image. The debates are hosted by Professor Widdows and include cross-party MPs and leading NGOs. The debates will be live-streamed on the University Facebook channel throughout February-March 2021, and will also feature a live Q & A with audience members.
