Boohoo has signed up to the Body Image Pledge, a campaign by Bosworth MP and former GP Luke Evans
His proposals were mentioned in the government's"This is an issue which affects many people," said Dr Evans, who is Conservative MP for Bosworth in Leicestershire.
"I believe it is testament to the need for change on this issue that such prominent companies are supporting my campaign."Dr Evans said: "By taking this voluntary commitment these organisations have acknowledged the detrimental impact that viewing warped and unrealistic body proportions can have on a person's mental health and body image.
"I urge other brands, charities and organisations to show the same commitment towards fostering healthier representations of body image and sign the pledge."Dr Luke Evans worked as a GP before being elected as MP for Bosworth in Leicestershireon 12 January. This is separate from his Body Image Pledge, and would legally require advertisers and influencers to label images which have been digitally altered.
"The government will consider further proposals to tackle body image issues related to digitally altered images, such as mandatory kite marks [SIC], as part of the Online Advertising Programme and our future plans for mental health."
