Understanding fat acceptance

• National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA) states, “We envision a culture where all fat people are free, celebrated, and liberated from every form of oppression." 
• Just as people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, low-income people, and individuals with disabilities face institutional discrimination, so do fat people. 
• Fat people who belong to marginalized groups experience overlapping forms of discrimination. 

NAAFA works to protect the rights of fat people, also called “people of size”.
