 Objectification increases self-objectification, where women judge their own body parts as a mean of praise and pleasure for others.There is a significant link between self-objectification, body dissatisfaction, and disordered eating, as the beauty ideal is altered through social media.In the majority of many African communities, thinness is generally not seen as an ideal body type and most pressure to attain a slim figure may stem from influence or exposure to Western culture and ideology.
