Objectification, according to Martha Nussbaum, is the act of treating someone as an instrument or object. And objectification theory offers a significant framework for comprehending, researching, and intervening to enhance the lives of women in a sociocultural environment that sexually objectifies the female physique and links a woman’s value to her physical appearance and sexual abilities. Further, sexual objectification encompasses a broad range of practices and institutions that contribute to the portrayal of women as mere sex objects. This objectification theory explicates the harms and wrongs of sexual objectification, as it explains the association between instrumentalization and the processes of social stereotyping facilitate its functioning.
