SEXUALIZATION OF GIRLS

SEXUALIZATION OCCURS WHEN: a person’s value comes only from his or her sexual appeal or behavior, to the exclusion of other characteristics; a person is held to a standard that equates physical attractiveness (narrowly defined) with being sexy; a person is sexually objectified—that is, made into a thing for others’ sexual use, rather than seen as a person with the capacity for independent action and decision making; and/or sexuality is inappropriately imposed upon a person.

CONSEQUENCES Cognitive and emotional Mental and physical health Sexuality Attitudes and beliefs Impact on others and on society
