Action on Body Confidence
The Action on Body Confidence (ABC) is the advocacy component of Free Being Me. It is a tool for leaders and young people, especially girls to deliver advocacy activities in various levels – local, national and even international. This activity pack aims to equip young people with knowledge and skills on doing advocacy to help them navigate their advocacy adventure. They will identify the biggest body confidence issues in their community and plan a project that engages and influences decision-makers for change.
The ABC curriculum consists of the following:
- An activity pack for younger age group (7-10 years old)
- An advocacy adventure map for the younger age group
- An activity pack for middle and older age group (11-15+ years old)
- An advocacy adventure map for the middle and older age group
The activity packs are available in Arabic, English, French and Spanish and are designed for both boys and girls. We suggest that young people go through FBM first before doing ABC.
