			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I see that a German magazine, Brigitte, is catching up with Liberal Democrat policy. You can <a href="http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/fashion/article7008640.ece">read</a> here a Times Online article about the fact that this magazine has now resolved to use real women in its pages.</p>
<p>The Liberal Democrats, myself as Equalities Spokesperson and Jo Swinson, MP as Chair of the Policy Working Group welcome this debate widening. So many women and young people are made to feel bad by the constant drip drip of perfected images (perfected by airbrushing and retouching) that surround us on a daily basis. The LibDem policy arising from the working group and passed at last autumn&#8217;s conference would see advertisers have to inform the public whether the ad has been retouched. It&#8217;s not about stopping advertisers &#8211; it&#8217;s about introducing some honesty and transparency.</p>
