University officials finally folded and agreed to overhaul their toxic body image policies. This win belongs to every one of the 237 people who refused to accept their garbage standards. Stay sharp because we are going to make sure they actually follow through on these changes.

Motivation:
When it comes to body image, the way we associate language with our bodies matters
Society has created the illusion that our appearances need to fit into a mold to be accepted; because of this, we may hold some biases about what looks “good” and what looks “bad.”
How many times have you said or heard someone say “I hate my….” or "I wish I was…?” When we make negative statements like these, it creates a culture of comparison and unrealistic expectations.
Goal:
The language we use internally and externally can continue or challenge these ideas. At UO, we want to challenge the negative culture surrounding body image that the media has built for us, instead finding ways to accept and empower everyBODY.

The University of Oregon pretends to care about student well-being while ignoring the toxic body shaming culture thriving on this campus. I am tired of their empty brochures and useless websites. We are currently demanding a sit-down with administration to force them to actually address these harmful standards instead of just looking the other way.
