Advocacy

Advocacy – or speaking out to influence those in positions of power – is an integral part of the Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting movement and our Free Being Me partnership.

Together with our programme partner, the Dove Self Esteem Project (DSEP), we developed an activity pack specifically focused on advocacy and named it Action on Body Confidence (ABC).

Through it, young people identify the biggest body confidence and self-esteem issues in their communities and plan projects to address them at their root; influencing power holders to change the way their society works.

We believe that is only by pairing education with advocacy that we will realise the transformative change we seek: a world free from appearance-based discrimination and anxiety.
