BODY CONFIDENCE CAMPAIGN
Our
EmpowerHer: Body Confidence is a girl empowerment school campaign that aims to promote positive body image and self-confidence among young girls. Our campaign is designed to empower girls to embrace their bodies, celebrate their uniqueness, and develop a healthy relationship with their bodies. We believe that every girl deserves to feel confident and comfortable in her own skin. Our campaign provides a range of resources, activities, and workshops that promote body positivity and self- love. We work with experienced facilitators who are experts in their fields to provide girls with the tools and knowledge they need to develop a positive body image. Our campaign includes workshops on topics such as self-care, mindfulness, and healthy eating habits. We also provide resources such as posters, stickers, and social media challenges to promote a positive body image in schools and communities. We believe that when girls feel confident and empowered, they can achieve anything they set their minds to. We invite schools and communities to join us in promoting body confidence and empowering girls to be their best selves.
Confident Me
In celebration of the International Day of the Girl Child 2023, we organized a week-long body confidence campaign in schools in different cities.
The campaign comes amidst an urgent need for increased attention and resourcing for the key areas that enable girls to realize their rights and achieve their full potential.
One of them is their mental and physical well-being. The campaign in schools addressed the critical issue of body image and promoted self-acceptance among young girls.
With social media constantly presenting unrealistic beauty standards, it is crucial to empower girls to embrace their unique bodies and cultivate a positive self-image.
We are grateful for all our volunteers who shared their own stories and experiences, providing guidance and support to the girls.
To extend the impact beyond the campaign, Empower Her Network Africa is looking at partnering with schools to integrate body confidence education into their curricula.
We believe that by investing in the action needed to bring about change, we are moving towards a world where girls can embrace their bodies and cultivate self-confidence. They can overcome societal pressures and become strong, independent individuals who can shape government policy and spending to inform the rules and norms by which businesses should operate, and to direct the priorities for new research and innovations.
