Plus Size Living, Size Acceptance Organizations

Features > Size Acceptance Organizations

It is difficult living as a plus size person while the world around us seems to prize thinness. Organizations exist with the sole purpose of fighting the stereotypes and discrimination which exist. Plus Size World is not an activist organization, but we offer our support for those who are. They carry on the fight for all of us and for that we are grateful.
