Urge Amazon to Withdraw "Your Body, My Choice. Forever" Decals


Urge Amazon to Withdraw "Your Body, My Choice. Forever" Decals
The Issue
We are appalled by the promotion of blatant misogyny through the sale of "Your Body, My Choice. Forever" decals on Amazon. The message perpetuates a demeaning and violent perspective towards women and is offensive to all people. This strikes at the ethical core of social responsibility.
According to the American Psychological Association, exposure to even subtle gender discrimination can potentially harm mental health, leading to lower self-esteem, increased stress, and even depression. This product falls into this category by normalizing a dismissive stance on women's rights and autonomy.
Amazon, a multinational technology company that has positioned itself as a global market leader, holds a social and moral obligation to respect the dignity of all people. By allowing the sale of such merchandise, it tacitly condones the sentiments behind these decals.
The standards set by the United Nations Global Compact urge businesses not just to abolish discrimination in respect of employment and occupation, but also to support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights. Progressive action is expected from a global platform that reaches millions of users daily.
Therefore, we call on Amazon to immediately halt the sale of "Your body, my choice. Forever" decals and to implement a stricter vetting process for products promoting discrimination or harmful stereotypes. It's not just about removing one offensive item—it's about asserting a stand against all forms of misogyny and discrimination. Join us in this important call for change – sign this petition.
