Join the 10 Days of Body Talk initiative on Body Positivity this 2022!

Body Talk help girls with low self-esteem and poor body image and give young women a forum for peer learning through shared experiences about their bodies and moderated discussions about their health and other related topics.

It took the form of a Social Media Awareness Campaign. This Social Media campaign was mainly on two platforms: Facebook with the hashtag: #10DaysofBodyTalk and as a group on the mobile chat app: Whatsapp.

Why should You Join?

It is only natural to want to feel good about our bodies and our appearance; creating our own style makes us feel unique and allows us to reflect our values but so many times we are faced with difficult questions:

• How do we keep a positive attitude when we are constantly being judged?
• Is there a way to deal with the pressure to act and look a certain way to fit in?
• How can we change a society that seems to value appearance more than anything?

Many times, women have to pass through judgement for how they look at every point in their lives. We as young women are especially vulnerable; we compare ourselves or society judges us with others. Our hair, our size, our colour, every aspect is always under scrutiny.

It’s your turn to learn, and why not add your voice? If not for yourself, join for the woman next to you and your little girl looking up to you.
