Objectification is the process by which a person comes to be treated as a commodity or an object for use, rather than a human being with a personality, feelings, needs, dignity and rights.
Sexual objectification is where a person is objectified for the purpose of the sexual gratification or use of another.
In her TedX talk, Dr Caroline Heldman illustrates how the objectification of women has escalated, how we have become inured to its damaging effects and what we can do individually and collectively to demolish the paradigms that keep us from a better world.
