These Powerful Photos Show The Dangers of Judging Girls By Their Clothes

A lot goes into picking out an outfit in the morning. Whether it's freezing out, if you have anything to do after school, if you're seeing your crush — it all goes through your head. But often times, so does what others will think of you because of what you wear. Too short? You're a "slut." Too long? A "prude." It's totally unfair.

Terre Des Femmes, a Swiss organization for gender equality, is fighting back against the unfair judgment girls face about how they dress with an ad campaign called Don't Measure A Woman's Worth By Her Clothes. Along with students at the Miami Ad School in Germany, artist Theresa Wlokka created three powerful images, depicting commonly sexualized areas (like a woman's chest and legs) along with "measuring sticks."

It's a glaring reminder that if a girl wears a low-cut shirt, it doesn't mean she's promiscuous, and a knee-length skirt, doesn't mean she's prude or boring. The images also highlight a common justification heard in sexual assault cases — the insane idea that showing skin means the victim was "asking for it."
