對于許多產后女性而言，享受為人母喜悅的同時也面臨著各種挑戰，其中之一便是身材走形和產后傷疤。近日，倫敦地鐵新投放的一組廣告引人注意：廣告不加修飾地展示了真實的產后女性身體，露出了疤痕、妊娠紋還有其他種種因為生育而留下的身體印記。這組宣傳照片是為參加“我們眼中的女性”比賽而創作。該比賽呼吁大家關注各種背景的女性，摒棄不良的性別刻板印象。

This London ad campaign shows women's post-childbirth bodies in all their glory
① A new advertising campaign in the London Underground spotlights women's bodies after childbirth, depicted without the use of digital retouching.
② Mothercare's Body Proud Mums campaign aims to represent "a part of motherhood that is rarely seen in media," the childcare retailer said in a statement.
③ The campaign comprises 10 photos of women holding their babies and wearing only underwear -- revealing scars, stretch marks and other physical effects of pregnancy and childbirth. The ads appear in more than 30 Tube stations across London, on LCD screens and escalator panels.
④ The moms were shot by British photographer Sophie Mayanne. "We wanted the images to feel authentic and honest -- and wanted to document the diversity of motherhood," Mayanne told CNN. "There are a lot of marginalized bodies we don't see represented in the media."
⑤ The Body Proud Mums campaign was created for Transport for London's "The Women We See" competition, which called on entrants to produce ads that reflect London's diversity, feature women from all backgrounds and move away from harmful gender stereotypes.
