The Peoples’ Obesity Health Justice Movement

Introduction

Welcome to the Obesity Health Justice peer-to-peer programme. This programme is co-developed by those who have been diagnosed with obesity alongside a wide range of health practitioners.

This work aims to demonstrate the harm of the dominant, individualised, narrative of obesity. We present an alternative understanding that views obesity through a neuro-epidemiological, environmental and sociopolitical lens. This serves as an avenue for people who are experiencing obesity to understand their disease and explore potential methods of self-care, self-advocacy and safeguarding.
