Beauty At Any Cost

YWCA USA has produced a new report called "
Beauty at Any Cost" and is teaming up with filmmaker Darryl Roberts to distribute his documentary film called "
America the Beautiful" to raise awareness about the costs of our culture's obsession with beauty.
This new report portrays our obsession with beauty as a lifelong burden taking a terrible toll on young girls and women in this country. The report shows an alarming increase in toxic
cosmetic use,
cosmetic surgery, as well as more perceived appearance-based job discrimination, and decreases in self-esteem and healthy interpersonal relationships.
The report and discussion guide can be accessed at the
YWCA web site.
