A British woman, Jae West took part in an initiative to raise awareness around eating-disorders and self-esteem issues. 

She takes to London's busiest centre - Piccadilly Circus, and takes off her clothes, places a blindfold on and holds a sign written: "I'm standing for anyone who has suffered from an eating dosorder...like me. To support draw a heart on my body."

 The public act of self-acceptance has gained momentum with others taking on the challenge - including men.

According to West's blog about the act, it aims to get people to question the true relationship that they have with their body-image.

Jae is a founding member of a group called The Liberators International - a group that promotes acts of freedom as stated on their website.
