What is Body Positivity?

Body positivity refers to the assertion that all people deserve to have a positive body image, regardless of how society and popular culture view ideal shape, size, and appearance.

Some of the goals of the body positivity movement include:
 
-challenging how society views the body
-promoting the acceptance of all bodies
-helping people build confidence and acceptance of their own bodies
-addressing unrealistic body standards
 
Body positivity is not just about challenging how society views people based upon their physical size and shape, however. It also recognizes that judgments are often made based on race, gender, sexuality, and disability.
