Redefining Beauty with Dove

Who else thinks it’s time to redefine beauty?

Fact: 6 out of 10 girls stop doing what they love because they feel bad about how they look

Today I came across the Dove Self-Esteem Project!

It has a mission to help young people overcome body image issues and fulfill their potential by building positive body confidence and self-esteem.

"..we believe no young person should be held back from reaching their full potential. However, low body confidence and anxieties over appearance keep young people from being their best selves, affecting their health, friendships, and even performance at school."

The project has developed tools with world renowned body image experts and leading universities to create confidence building workshops and other educational activities for mentors and youth leaders.

So far, they have reached more than 29 million young people across 140 countries!  Their goal is to reach 40 million young people by 2020 and 100 million by 2025.

Unilever is using their platform to break barriers through the @Dove brand by investing in positive social impact!

The Global SDG Awards is pleased to announce Unilever as a winners of its inaugural competition for Goal #3: Good Health & Well-being. The Awards are designed to celebrate private-sector leadership in the advancement of United Nations 2030 Agenda, also known as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
