Everybody in Schools

Everybody in Schools (Chancellor) was a collaborative project between Chancellor State College and the University of the Sunshine Coast. One of the major outputs from the project was the development of the Everybody in Schools Curriculum Unit Resource Resource Kit. The Resource Kit is based on the Health at Every Size® Principles (HAES®) of valuing body size diversity, fostering self-esteem and resilience, healthy and pleasurable eating and active living. NAAFA is very proud to able to offer this resource on our website and thank all those who worked on this exceptional project.

ASSOCIATION FOR SIZE DIVERSITY AND HEALTH

As a non-profit organization with an international membership committed to the practice of the Health At Every Size® (HAES®) Principles, ASDAH envisions a world that celebrates bodies of all shapes and sizes, in which body weight is no longer a source of discrimination and where oppressed communities have equal access to the resources and practices that support health and well being.

Deutschlands Forum für Dicke  (Germany's forum for fat people)

The aim of these pages is to support fat people in gaining self-confidence independent of body weight. Because you are fat, we, the operators of DDS, shouldn't feel guilty. And that you are fat, we also find, is no reason not to accept yourself or to allow yourself to be discriminated against.  So if you are here to make peace with your body, you are spot on.

The Society against Weight Discrimination (GgG) e.V.

The Society against Weight Discrimination (GgG) e.V. is a German socio-political association with the aim of improving the social acceptance of fat people and counteracting discrimination on the basis of body weight. It was founded in 2005 as an association of people of very different abdominal girths who set out to change the predominantly negative view of society on fat people. Our work does not primarily focus on fat people, but on the discriminatory social environment.
