Dove Self-Esteem Project
https://www.dove.com/uk/dove-self-esteem-project.html
At Dove, we believe that no young person should be held back from reaching their full potential – but in the UK, 9 out of every 10 girls with low body esteem put their health at risk by not seeing a doctor or by skipping meals. Since 2004, Dove has been building self-esteem in young people – and by 2020, we’ll have helped 40 million through our educational programmes.
