"To all the girls that think you’re ugly because you’re not a size 0, you’re the beautiful one. It’s society who’s ugly" ― Marilyn Monroe



A rainbow typically refers to a meteorological phenomenon that is a spectrum of light appearing in the sky when the sun shines onto rain droplets in the atmosphere. It consists of various colours, often arranged in a specific order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet (ROYGBIV).

If you're asking about "rainbow" in the context of measuring body sizes, it's a term used in fashion or clothing industries to describe a range of sizes or a diverse set of options. For example, a brand might offer a "rainbow" of sizes to indicate inclusivity and cater to various body types.

Today when I was sitting with the Owner of a well-known brand's learned about a phrase for plus-size apparel. This way, anyone who is plus-size won't feel body shamed when they go shopping and are labelled huge or any other term that offends them. I applaud companies that consider women of these sizes and help them develop a positive body image.

Given the relentless bombardment of photoshopped perfection in our world, it should come as no surprise that a large number of people especially women feel tremendous pressure to meet rigid beauty standards. This invasive culture of body shaming has its roots in this concern with appearances. However, it's past time for us to acknowledge how critically important it is to redefine these norms and build a culture that is more welcoming and inclusive. 

The effects of body shaming on people's mental and self-esteem are severe. In particular, women are frequently hooked in a self-criticism vicious cycle that is fed by cultural expectations. Constantly examining their body might cause eating disorders, anxiety, and sadness. It's a brutal fact of life that needs our attention and help.

Fortunately, there is a growing movement that opposes these damaging beauty standards and encourages body positivity. It will take a team effort to redefine beauty standards and end body shaming; these are continual processes. Through promoting diversity, encouraging mutual support, and cultivating a self-love mindset, we may establish a community in which each person is appreciated and views themselves as attractive without modification. Let's implement this change little by little.

Rab Rakha!!!!!
