Women's Center Events
Love Your Body Day
Wednesday | October 16 | 11AM-2PM
Women's Center (Above Hi-Thai, Near Main Gym)
Join us for free food, crafts, massages, and more! Every day, in so many ways, the beauty industry (and the media in general) tell women and girls that being admired, envied and desired based on their looks is a primary function of true womanhood. The beauty template women are expected to follow is extremely narrow, unrealistic and frequently hazardous to their health. The Love Your Body campaign challenges the message that a woman's value is best measured through her willingness and ability to embody current beauty standards.
