Many women struggle with poor body image and eating disorders due, in part, to images of very thin women and photoshopped bodies in the media and advertisements. In 2013, Israel's Act Limiting Weight in the Modelling Industry, 5772-2012, came into effect. Known as the Photoshop Law, it requires all models in Israel who are over 18 years old to have a body mass index of 18.5 or higher. The Israeli government was the first government in the world to legislate on this issue. Australia has a voluntary Code of Conduct that is similar to the Photoshop Law. This article argues that the Australian government should follow Israel's lead and pass a law similar to the Photoshop Law because the Code is not sufficiently binding.
许多女性都在与糟糕的身体形象和饮食失调作斗争，部分原因在于媒体和广告中极瘦女性的形象以及经过 Photoshop 处理的身体形象。2013 年，以色列的《模特行业体重限制法案》（5772 - 2012 年）生效。该法案被称为“Photoshop 法”，它要求以色列所有 18 岁以上的模特身体质量指数达到 18.5 或更高。以色列政府是世界上第一个就这个问题立法的政府。澳大利亚有一项类似于“Photoshop 法”的自愿行为准则。本文认为，澳大利亚政府应该效仿以色列，通过一项类似于“Photoshop 法”的法律，因为该行为准则的约束力不够。
