Girls and women these days are constantly subjected to expectations of how their body is supposed to look.<\/span><\/p>\n

For most, these expectations are completely unattainable, and yet when we don\u2019t conform to these expectations we feel inadequate. <\/span><\/p>\n

Issues with self esteem and body confidence are some of the major contributors to depression and lack of self worth in young women.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The internet and social media play a massive role in magnifying the issue, so too does the Victoria\u2019s Secret show. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Victoria Secrets show is one of the most watched fashion events of the year where the world’s top models parade the best of women\u2019s lingerie.<\/span><\/p>\n

The models that walk the runway for Victoria Secret are at the pinnacle of their careers and at peak body condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the brands popularity and fame come excessive promotion in the weeks leading up to events, with a glorification of one particular body type saturating the internet. <\/span><\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s clear that the women that walk these shows work extremely hard to keep their body\u2019s in peak condition, we have to recognize that for most women, this is simply not possible with their lifestyles. <\/span><\/p>\n

The majority of us couldn\u2019t monitor our diet and dedicate so many hours to workout regimes. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s just not compatible with a students life or a working person’s life.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not feasible for anyone whose job isn\u2019t simply to keep their bodies in peak condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is important that we, as women, move away from seeing one single body type as the idea.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is time we focus on the diversity of the human form and engage with brands that represent and celebrate everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n
