In issues 11 and 12 of Chimp we did our best to explore the portrayal of women in the media, focusing on the ethics of airbrushing and the damage caused by eating disorders.

Take this final set as a celebration of real women, embracing curves and acknowledging that beauty lies in any shape and size.

                                                                            

Confronting Pro-Anna

Over one million people in the UK have anorexia. Twenty percent will die as a direct result. It is the most complex and fatal psychiatric disorder and, contrary to popular belief, eating disorders are not only common among young women; cases have been recognised in children as young as three through to adults in their eighties, and in both men and women they are on the increase.
