		</div><p>Spain’s government has a message for women who are uncomfortable about their bodies when they wear bathing costumes: Don’t be.</p>
<p>The government’s Equality Ministry launched a summer campaign on Thursday encouraging women to reject “stereotypes” and “aesthetical violence” — a reference to social pressure some women feel to conform to beauty ideals.</p>
<p>A poster advertising the campaign features women of different ages, sizes and skin colours in bathing costumes on a beach.</p>
<p>The slogan is, “Summer belongs to us, too.”</p>
<p>In a tweet, Equality Minister Irene Montero said: “Enjoy (the summer) however, wherever and with whoever you like.”</p>
<p>The head of the Women’s Institute, a government body, said gender stereotypes are at the root of discrimination based on physical appearance.</p>
<p>“Expectations are projected onto women about how they should look,” Antonia Morillas told state news agency Efe.</p>
<p>“That doesn’t only affect our self-esteem, it also takes away our rights and limits how we behave in and whether we enjoy public spaces.”</p>
<p>Spain’s Socialist-led coalition government, which came to power four years ago, has made women’s rights one of its political banners.</p>
<p>The Cabinet has 14 women and eight men in ministerial positions.</p>
