Why These Numbers Matter
Bodyshaming is not just something that happens online or in passing comments — it is a serious issue that leaves lasting emotional scars. It affects people of all ages, backgrounds, and body types. For many, the pain caused by bodyshaming stays with them for years. Some carry it silently, while others speak out and fight back. But no matter how someone reacts, one thing is clear: bodyshaming hurts.
The statistics below are more than just numbers. They represent real people who have been made to feel less because of how they look too big, too small, too tall, too short, too different. These people are your friends, your classmates, your coworkers maybe even you.
According to global research studies, including those by the World Health Organization and mental health organizations from 2020 to 2025, the impact of bodyshaming is shockingly widespread:
