Summary/Abstract: It can be observed that the sexualization of media messages and the associated related objectification, mainly of women, has been gaining momentum in recent years. These phenomena influence the functioning of women, including, among other things, the perception of their bodies and the actions and activities they undertake. The exploitation of women as sexual objects is particularly often used in advertising. The article’s purpose is to describe this phenomenon and possible forms of support and education, especially for young women.
