Stand in any women's dressing room and you're likely to hear a female voice saying something unkind about her body. Though we, unfortunately, may be attuned to hearing negative self-talk from adult women, it's disconcerting to hear an 10-year-old complain about the size of her thighs or say that she needs to lose weight.
The Dressing Room Project hopes to dispel the myth that we all can (or should) look like supermodels and wants to bring confidence back to girls and teens. The young women involved in the project created self-designed cards to stick on dressing room mirrors with messages like "You are beautiful," and "Love Yourself." Organizers also sponsor workshops that get girls talking about the issue and foster self-esteem.
Want to get involved? You can start a Dressing Room Project team in your community or even shop at their Cafe Press store.
