Fat Women Here to Stay

The London Fat Women's Group believe they face discrimination as society considers them overweight. Through this programme the women want to challenge the slim ideal presented by the media and the diet industry. After years of dieting and self-hatred, the women are trying to come to terms with how they are, and want to challenge the oppression they face - in job opportunities, fashion, being refused entry to nightclubs, or being called a 'fat bitch' in the street.
