Sizeism
Sizeism is a form of discrimination based on a person's size or weight. It often manifests in negative attitudes and stereotypes towards individuals who are perceived as overweight or underweight. This bias can affect various aspects of life, including employment opportunities, social interactions, and mental health.
People who experience sizeism may face bullying, exclusion, or unfair treatment in different settings, such as schools and workplaces. The impact of sizeism can lead to low self-esteem and body image issues. Awareness and education about sizeism are essential to promote acceptance and inclusivity for individuals of all sizes.
