Body Talk: Killing Us Softly

Body Talk: Women’s Health, Body & Mind

This series of events offers women the opportunity to think about different areas of their health. At the events a film, depicting women’s lives, is shown, before a group discussion about women’s health.  This programme includes two events:

Body Image & Women’s Health:
Killing Us Softly
Monday 27th February, 11am to 2.30pm (free) 

Jean Kilbourne’s film discussing the impact of media images of women. Kilbourne reviews if and how the image of women in advertising has changed over the last 20 years.
