Objectification refers to the act of treating a person, or sometimes an animal, like an object or a commodity, often reducing them to a body or a set of body parts. In social and feminist theory, objectification is seen as a form of dehumanization that can impact a person's autonomy and agency. A common example is the sexual objectification of women in media and advertising, where their value is predominantly linked to their physical appearance rather than their intrinsic qualities or abilities.
