We are the students of IGCSE Global perspectives and this petition is part of our team project. We are spreading awareness on the issue of Eating disorders and you can help us in this matter.

Join us in the prevailing issue on eating disorders and promote healthy eating.

Eating disorders are serious mental health problems, that affect a person’s relationship with food and body image. Around 70 million people globally suffer from eating disorders but sadly, only 1 in 10 people will seek and receive treatment due to which it can result in death.                                                                           

          Main types of eating disorders include:

• Anorexia nervosa, which is characterized by weight loss or maintenance by extreme dieting, starvation, or too much exercise.
• Binge eating, which means to frequently consume an unusually large amount of food in one sitting.
• Bulimia nervosa, with symptoms that include purging, taking laxatives, exercising, or fasting to avoid weight gain after binge eating.

We pledge that :

• We will eat healthy
• Seek treatments if affected with eating disorders 
• Not basing our food consumption on our physical appearance but rather our health

These small actions lead to great changes. Spread awareness as you might just save a life.

Help us in spreading awareness on this issue by just the sign of this petition.  We are students of Global Perspectives, ready to bring a change.

I  am the voice against eating disorders.
