Barriers faced by Fat people

In the 21st century, people of size are increasingly speaking up about the discrimination they endure. 

• Fat women receive harsher criminal sentences than thinner women
• Less likely to be admitted to colleges
• Fatphobia is a global problem
• The assumption that fat people are simply too lazy or too indulgent prevails in healthcare settings. 
• Doctors routinely dismiss their legitimate health concerns, blaming any problem they have on their weight. 
• Encounter discrimination in shops for clothes that carry apparel in limited size ranges.
