Fat Acceptance is a social movement that advocates for the rights and dignity of individuals of all body sizes, particularly those who are considered overweight or obese. It challenges societal norms that stigmatize larger bodies and promotes the idea that all bodies deserve respect, regardless of their size. The movement seeks to combat discrimination and promote body positivity, emphasizing that health can exist in various forms.
The Fat Acceptance movement also encourages individuals to embrace their bodies and reject harmful stereotypes associated with obesity. It often intersects with discussions about body positivity, mental health, and social justice, aiming to create a more inclusive society that values diversity in body shapes and sizes.
