Vogue Italy against pro anorexia sites and blogs

Signature against pro anorexia sites and blogs!: This is an interesting initiative sponsored by Vogue and in particular by Franca Sozzani against the emergence of internet space where we celebrate this phenomenon. Vogue Italy, the newspaper par excellence that deals with and promotes the aesthetics, the visual beauty, decided to use its authority and its catchment area on the web to fight anorexia and collect signatures with the goal to shut down these sites.

A major proposal to be supported and sustained, largely because made by a symbol of fashion that has often been blamed as one of the main causes of this disease. There are plenty of blogs where you tell girls not only to incorporate a model anorexic beauty, but also give advice and instructions on how to lose weight.

Teach you how to vomit, refuse food, recommend diuretics and laxatives. The problem is that these sites are for everyone, especially teenagers who are looking for models or confused answers to questions typical value of an age that hard. An interesting study published in the American Journal of Public Health, found in the diaries of these girls of mine dangers of easy access to anyone who connects to the Internet: 80% of pro-anorexia sites has interactive applications ( as the counters of calories), 85% post photos of skeletal and inspiring women, 83% gives tips on how to lose weight quickly and engage the lens to have total control of your body to get to 45 pounds or less.

The authors of the study added, however, that this blog should be considered as the cries of help, a different way to express their anxieties, rather than with traditional models of care such as psychotherapy. The ABA (Anorexia Bulimia Association) founded by Fabiola de Clercq, in 1990, is one of the most reliable for the treatment of the girls realized that they need help.

To contact us, there is a toll-free number: 800 16 56 16. The Vogue campaign perfectly reflects the commitment of the month to promote the welfare of all women, denuncianso the dangers inherent in seeking to follow a pattern of distorted false beauty, which endangers the lives of many young people.
