Mental health of 3 children 5 would be affected by what they see on social networks!

"We make a living by what we receive, we fill our lives by giving to all forms of life."
A new study from Dove's Self-Esteem Project reveals that 70% of children are exposed to toxic beauty content on social media, with the mental health of 3 in 5 children being affected by what they see online. As part of the campaign's efforts to advance legislation to address this mental health crisis among teens, Dove and Ogilvy UK created an incredible film #LetsChangeBeauty that I warmly invite you to discover and share. This film explores the real-life consequences of harmful beauty content through stories experienced by teenagers.
As a loving father, pro-feminist man, and marketing professional passionate about developing emotional intelligence in the customer experience, I'm aware of the challenges young girls face in developing and maintaining a positive self-image in today's society, with media and social media pressure.
The Dove Self-Esteem Project is a program that aims to support young girls' self-esteem by offering resources, workshops, and advice to help them navigate this challenging environment.
Dove's Self-Esteem Project is not a sensationalist or opportunistic advertising campaign!
I also want to emphasize that, in my opinion, Dove's Self-Esteem Project goes far beyond a simple sensationalist or opportunistic advertising campaign. This project aims to improve young girls' and women's self-esteem through concrete actions and genuine commitment. Dove doesn't merely address self-esteem but genuinely invests in educational initiatives, interactive workshops, and school partnerships to support young girls and women. The company also commits to promoting diverse and realistic representation of women in the media, breaking stereotypes, and fighting against unattainable beauty ideals.
Moreover, Dove actively works to raise public awareness of mental health issues related to self-esteem and advocates for legislative changes to protect women and young girls from discrimination and social pressures. In summary, I believe the Dove Self-Esteem Project is an example of a responsible and committed campaign that aims to bring positive and lasting change to young girls' and women's lives. A real brand experience that nurtures Dove's image… and not the other way around 😉
In this article, I want to share my perspective on why I think the Dove Self-Esteem Project is beneficial for young girls and how it can help them. It highlights an inclusive and caring approach, accessible educational resources, interactive workshops, the importance of representation, collaboration with schools, awareness of mental health issues, encouragement of autonomy and resilience, and long-term impact. As a young man, I'm proud to support an initiative that promotes equality and empowerment of women in our society.
An inclusive and caring approach
What I find important in the Dove Self-Esteem Project is its inclusive approach, targeting all young girls, regardless of their background, body shape, or situation. The program creates a caring environment where young girls feel supported and valued, thus promoting a healthy self-image.
Accessible educational resources
I discovered that the project offers a wealth of free and easily accessible online educational resources, such as articles, videos, and workshops. These resources cover various self-esteem-related topics, like body image, comparing oneself to others, stress management, and the importance of autonomy. Young girls have access to reliable and relevant information to help them understand and overcome the challenges they face.
Interactive workshops
The Dove Self-Esteem Project also organizes interactive workshops for young girls, parents, and educators. These workshops enable participants to acquire practical skills to boost self-esteem and create a strong support network. Moreover, the workshops encourage young girls to share their experiences and learn from each other, fostering a sense of belonging and solidarity.

The importance of representation
The project emphasizes diverse representation of women in the media, partnering with public figures, influencers, and organizations to promote realistic and diverse images of women. By breaking stereotypes and showcasing varied success stories, the Dove Self-Esteem Project helps young girls understand that there is no single model of beauty or success.
Collaboration with schools
The Dove Self-Esteem Project also collaborates with schools and educational institutions to integrate the program's principles into school curricula. This creates a caring and inclusive school environment where young girls can thrive and develop a positive self-image. I believe this collaboration is essential for helping young girls from an early age.
Raising awareness of mental health issues
The project also addresses mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, which can be related to low self-esteem. By raising awareness among young girls, parents, and educators, the Dove Self-Esteem Project contributes to the prevention and early management of these disorders, promoting a better quality of life for affected young girls.
Encouraging autonomy and resilience
The Dove Self-Esteem Project focuses on developing autonomy and resilience in young girls. By helping them build skills to cope with life's challenges, the project empowers them to become strong and independent women, capable of overcoming obstacles and achieving their dreams.
Long-term impact
I am convinced that the Dove Self-Esteem Project's impact goes far beyond adolescence. By helping young girls develop healthy self-esteem, the program lays the foundation for a fulfilling adult life, marked by self-confidence, success, and overall well-being. The benefits of this initiative are felt in the long term, for individuals and society as a whole.
In conclusion, I genuinely believe the Dove Self-Esteem Project is a beneficial program that plays a crucial role in strengthening young girls' self-esteem. Through its inclusive and caring approach, educational resources, interactive workshops, collaboration with schools, and long-term impact, the project significantly contributes to the growth and success of today's and tomorrow's young girls.
As a loving father and as a pro feminist man, I am proud to support an initiative that promotes the equality and empowerment of women in our society. I also invite you to support these actions if these values join you as much as they seek my heart.
