AnyBody is an international movement which brings together passionate body image activists from around the world. We aim to promote body positivity, body acceptance and body neutrality and challenge the industries that turn us against our own bodies. We provide a space to question and discuss the barriers to feeling comfortable in our own skin. We campaign to change our culture (both online and in the physical world) so it reflects the variety of body shapes, sizes, colours, abilities, gender identities and ages of people throughout the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

The global movement is made up of local AnyBody chapters, each working to change how body hatred manifests in their own country while also supporting global campaigns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Be part of the movement. Dare to enjoy your body!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

AnyBody (formerly Endangered Bodies) was launched in 2011 by a series of Endangered Species summits in London, New York, Buenos Aires, Sao Paolo and Melbourne. These summits, timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of International Women\u2019s Day, brought together groups and individuals who were working to change the way girls and women felt about their bodies. As outlined in t<\/span>his speech by Susie Orbach at the London summit<\/span><\/a> \u2018<\/span>we want every girl to grow up feeling a matter of fact right to her body, without attack, without self-criticism, without being watchful. We want girls to be able to see their bodies as the place they live from, not a complicated place of fear. We want girls to be able to enjoy their physicality, play with it, be able to dress, to move, to desire, sumptuous and ordinarily. We want girls to be able to enjoy their appetites with relish. Today at this summit, we are insisting that something that is regarded as a personal issue, insecurity and preoccupation about one\u2019s body, be resituated as a serious political, economic and emotional issue<\/span><\/i>\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The movement has continued to grow with chapters now also in Germany, Ireland and New Zealand. While we initially focussed on girls and women our movement now addresses the impact of body issues on all bodies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0In 2021 all chapters rebranded under the AnyBody name to align globally and avoid confusion as previously some chapters operated under the Endangered Bodies moniker and some under AnyBody.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We challenge those aspects of culture and industries that turn individuals against their own bodies. We offer alternative ways to live with and enjoy being in our bodies, now and for future generations.<\/span><\/p>\n
