Stop Bild Sexism (German: Schluss mit dem Bild-Sexismus) is a campaign opposing what its organizers describe as the objectification of women in Bild-Zeitung, the most popular newspaper in Germany.[1][2][3] The paper has been criticized by numerous sources over the years for its sexist representations of women.[4][5] The campaign's first aim is to persuade the newspaper to stop publishing photographs of the "Bild-Girl," a topless model. It also asks that the newspaper start reporting on women and women's issues in the same way that it writes about men.[3][6]

Stop Bild Sexism was inspired by the No More Page 3 campaign in the UK to persuade The Sun newspaper to abandon its practice of publishing images of half-naked women.[7]
