Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Over the past couple of months, a new trend on social media has seen a number of men sharing photos of their wives and girlfriends who self-identify as 'curvy' or 'plus-size.' The intention is often to celebrate body positivity - but many of these posts have been faced with criticism. Journalist Jessie Thompson, and plus-size fashion blogger Steph Yeboah discuss how some men can be better allies to the body positive movement.
