“Kaizen Davao supports the campaign for equality and positive-body awareness movement all throughout the globe. We aim to actively participate as socially involved members of the community and tell the world that we support the anti-body shaming campaign, that beauty knows no shape and scale,” says Melissa Concha Arandia-Zapanta, proprietor of Kaizen.
Body shaming is the action or practice of humiliating someone by making or making critical comments or gestures about an individual’s body or size. The practice has been known to cause low self-esteem on those ridiculed, eating disorders, social anxiety, poor overall health. Bodily shamed persons are now ashamed of their natural body functions such as eating, sweating and menstruating.
“With increasing awareness about body shaming we encourage the community to join us, take a stand in this call for social change and acceptance,” Zapanta said.
