A small movement in Germany: Size Acceptance

Welcome to Dicke e.V. - a NGO in Germany, active in the field of Size Diversity and lobbying against all sorts of discrimination because of weight.

We were founded in 2008, and we are still not very big in the amount of members.  But we do offer very many people in Germany advice through the Internet, in Workshops and in some regional groups. A big focus lies on our mediawork, since we believe, that a lot of body image ideas is transported and "made" by the media. Our contribution, showing a different point of view, is just a tiny little part - but still, we keep going.

In the general hope, to inform fat people that diets don´t work on the long run, that the hazards of eating disorder is pretty much underestimated and in the idea of the possibility to live a healthy and fit life in a fat body. With self respect and acceptance with the society.

We do look forward, to exchange ideas and activities with people from all over the world. Feel free to contact us.
