These days a lot of young people experience pressure from their peers from images portrayed in the media about how they look that may affect their self-esteem and sometimes lead to disorders like anorexia and bulimia.

Girlguiding UK’s size and experience give us a unique opportunity and responsibility to speak out about issues of direct concern to young women.

This report from GirlguidingUK highlights concerns that problems with body image are affecting girls at an increasingly young age.

The report is available at: www.girlguiding.org.uk/
