Dove Day

DOVE, a personal care brand of Unilever, runs a self-esteem project that promotes  beauty as a source of confidence, not anxiety. Globally conducted research shows that 9 out of 10 young girls want to change something about their physical appearance, which is a result of social pressure coming from external sources.
The Dove Self-Esteem Project aims to change that by equipping young people with the tools they need to develop their self-esteem. Dove has already reached 13 million young people and is committed to reaching 15 million globally with the Self-Esteem Project by the end of 2015.
Dove Day is an initiative of the Dove Self-Esteem Project where students engage in Dove Self-Esteem workshops. In Bangladesh, Dove Day has was held on 12 October this year in Mohammadpur Preparatory Higher Secondary Girls' School, Sunnydale School, International Turkish Hope School, Marie Curie School, William Carey Academy and in Chittagong Government Girls' School.
In the workshops, the participating students were informed about the social pressure regarding their appearance and its sources. The reality of professional media which often makes people look artificially beautiful and how to avoid feeling pressurised looking at these images on media were discussed in the workshop.
Students did several activities and role plays to discuss and internalise what real beauty is to help improve their self-esteem. At the end of the session they all took pledges to become change agents. Students had a newfound appreciation of their uniqueness after the session and each of them wrote what they loved about themselves on the Dove Day Wall.
Around 80 Unilever managers including Leadership Team Members went directly to schools on Dove Day. Dove hopes that every woman in Bangladesh will explore her inner beauty with confidence and will be able to rediscover herself.
