It doesn't matter which city you live in, as you move around you're constantly confronted with adverts of nearly nude, objectified women. So much so that many of us probably don't even question why there is a woman in a bikini selling garden furniture.
London is, regrettably, no different. This spring, as millions of commuters descend into the London Underground, they will be confronted with a slim, beautiful woman (Australian model, Renee Somerfield) towering over the platform in her bikini selling Protein World supplements as a weight loss aid.
"Are you beach body ready?" it asks.
The term 'beach body' or 'bikini body' has angered feminists and body image campaigners since time began, and this advert is no exception.
To date there has been widespread outrage on social media, a change.org petition calling for the removal of the advert and, most recently, vandalism.
A recent campaign, 'Each Body's Ready', has steamed around London Underground defacing the adverts.
