We are tired of everyone complaining about what they represent the models because of their extreme thinness, and nobody does anything about it. It is clear that they are extremely thin and that it influences the young of our country and the world.
Already in 2006 a program was initiated against the disease, the protection of consumer rights and promoting a healthy body image proposed by the English Health, which was the main business and English fashion designers committed to the Minister for Health and Consumer Affairs, Elena Salgado, to standardize clothing sizes and bring aesthetic models launched by the sector to the social reality. This action arises from an encounter that started a project against the disease, the protection of consumer rights and promoting a healthy body image.
This in my case has not been noticed much because my size has not changed at all and are still seen in shops pants size 34 than to 44.
The French parliament last week approved a bill to penalize advertising that encourages extreme thinness, including that which is placed on the Internet.
With this initiative, which still must be approved by the upper house of Parliament, the French government aims to fight anorexia, a disease suffered about 40 thousand people in this country, particularly young women. To receive the green light in the Senate, the measure will apply sanctions against certain fashion magazines and Web sites that disseminate advertising "pro anorexia", a movement that developed in the United States since 2000. The document adopted by the French members expected a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment and a fine of 30 000 euros (about $ 47 000) for advertising that encourages anorexia, according to local press reports. In the event that advertising is considered a "direct provocation that causes the death of a person", the sentence is increased to three years in prison and 45 000 euros (just over $ 71 000) fine.
Representatives from the world of fashion, advertising and communication of France signed with the Ministry of Health, a code of conduct after the controversy erupted in September for the last campaign of the photographer Oliviero Toscani, starring a young French woman who measured 1.65 meters and weighed only 31 kilos.
With the so-called Charter of voluntary commitment on body image and anorexia against the undersigned including federations of women's fashion and haute couture, unions modeling agencies, the Union of Garment Industry and the Bureau of Advertising Verification undertake not to accept the spread of "images of people, especially if they are young people" who can help "promote a model of extreme thinness."
To the world of fashion and creation, there will be an information campaign about the risks that entails the "extreme thinness." Among the signatories French federations are fashion pret-à-porter women's, haute couture, modeling agencies, unions, the Union of Industrial and Office Attire or Verification of Advertising (BVP, in French).
code allows us to pave the way for a comprehensive approach to the prevention of anorexia, "said Health Minister, Roselyne Bachelot. Well
be if these measures have been taken, we see the results and lowered the cases of anorexia that exist today in our country .. we hope everyone.
