Girls' body confidence - what do you think could improve it?

Hello everyone!

Lynne Featherstone, the Minister for Equalities, is chairing a Roundtable on Body Confidence at the House of Commons. She wants to get up to speed on the work that various independent groups are doing in this area, in order to champion them within government and get as much support for their work as possible.

One of the topics under consideration is sexualisation, and following our Let Girls Be Girls campaign we've been asked to come up with some proposals. We're going to push for the government to get behind our Lads' Mags campaign - but we also thought it was a good moment to ask for your thoughts more generally about body confidence issues and what, if anything, you'd like to see policy-makers doing.

So do please fire away - what else do you think could be done generally to improve the body confidence of young girls?

Thanks all for some brilliant suggestions. Do keep 'em coming if you have more to add - we'll continue to keep an eye on the thread.

Back (rather sooner than expected ;)) to let you know that we've highlighted the issue of sexual bullying in schools in our proposal to the Minister. We'll update you if there are further developments.

We'll also compile a list of all the suggestions on this thread - so if you've anything to add, now's the time to do it!
