The Seventeen Body Peace Treaty

Seventeen Singapore, a publication of SPH Magazine Pte Ltd, presents The Seventeen Body Peace Treaty as part of its Seventeen Body Peace Project.

Seventeen declares Peace! Most girls are at war with their bodies, berating themselves when they do not meet their imaginary standard of beauty and perfection. "We give up cookies, bread or ice-cream after someone passes a negative comment about how we look in our jeans; we compare our bodies to our friends; and we disrespect our bodies by denying them proper nutrition and exercise."

The aim of the treaty is to inspire and encourage a positive body image among young girls.
The creator of this Treaty, Ann Shoket, editor-in-chief of Seventeen US, hopes to garner a million signatures for the Seventeen Body Peace Treaty by the end of the year. Everyone interested in signing the Treaty can do so online, at www.seventeen.com/bodypeace.

Seventeen encourages all young women to commit to treating their bodies with love and respect.
