The Body Shop cosmetics chain in the country Georgia has been slammed with criticism after it published a collection of stories to empower women, written by men as part of their ongoing “women empowerment campaigns”. Women have also publicly accused one of the book’s authors of sexual harassment.
Outrage over the publication lit up Georgian social media after The Body Shop presented its book ‘Love Yourself’ – a series of 13 short stories about women’s experiences, all written by seven well-known male authors – at the city hall in the capital Tbilisi, on Monday.
