Mission Statement
The Dove Self-Esteem Fund's mission is to foster positive self-esteem in the next generation and to help all girls feel that they are all beautiful. Our hope is to positively affect the lives of 5 million girls worldwide by 2010 through our resources such as school programs, online activities, and workshops for girls and their mothers/mentors, resources, booklets, and more. Self-esteem has an effect on every aspect of a person’s life. When girls and women feel positive about themselves and the way they look, they are more likely to engage in life, enjoy social interactions and live up to their full potential.

http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.ca/films/amy/yg. The above is a link to a video called "Amy". "Amy" is part of teh Dove Self-Esteem Fund's latest effort to change the way girls view themselves and their bodies. This site also includes a “Girls-Only Self-Esteem Interactive Zone”. The Zone has fun activities that girls can rate, create, play, question and challenge ideas around self-esteem and beauty. Such activities include creating your own magazine cover, quizzes and question panels for experts. Do you remember the ‘Evolution’ video? The one where there is an average looking girl’s face transformed into a Supermodel like image through the wonders of technology and make-up? It showed us all how false images of models really are in today’s media. “Amy” and the online world are sure to continue this important step at taking action towards changing the way all women and girls view beauty. Dove has created this video and website in an effort touch the lives of 5 million girls globally by the year 2010.
