Anti-fat bias factsheet
Anti-fat bias is a rarely addressed topic, as it is one of the most normalised and accepted forms of prejudice. This is seen in the media, in medicine, and in the workplace.
Whether this is a conscious or unconscious bias, it is greatly impacting individuals in their working environment with regards to lack of opportunities as well as discriminatory practices and/or beliefs. This factsheet introduces the concepts of anti-fat bias and weight stigma, and how employers can work toward more inclusive workplaces for people in larger bodies.
