Brown Women HealthHow Eating Disorders are Different for Brown Girls ft. Vaidehi GajjarThere is a lack of knowledge around eating disorders and stigma within the South Asian community. The misinformation and stigma contributes to many barriers for South Asians seeking help when it comes to eating disorders.
