Say NO to Sexist Ads!
If you want companies and advertising agencies stop using gender
stereotypes and female bodies to sell everything and anything, sign this
Petition.
We ask the European Union to strengthen its laws against sexism in the
media in line with the views of the European Parliament: 2008/2038; 2010/1751;
2012/2116 and treat sexism in the same way as racism or xenophobia.
The media have a great responsibility in promoting equality between women
and men. For too long, the representations of women have been misused by the
media advertising; we continue, as people working for equality, to fight
against stereotypes. More and more often and louder, we say NO to sexist
advertising!
• We reject these images that reduce women's bodies into their body
partyand constantly talk about their sexuality without any relevance to the
product.
• We can not accept that more than half of the European population is
expected to lack confidence and possibly suffer eating disorders to comply with
an arbitrary ideal, manufactured by advertising pressure.
We say it out loud: NO to Sexist Adverts!
