Our mission

The Dove Self-Esteem Project was created from a vision where beauty is a source of confidence, not anxiety. We’ve reached over 20 million young people with self-esteem education, together we can reach 20 million more.

Our mission is to ensure that the next generation grows up enjoying a positive relationship with the way they look – helping young people raise their self-esteem and realise their full potential.

We’ve partnered with leading experts in the fields of psychology, health and body image to create a programme of evidence based resources including parenting advice to help young people form healthy friendships, overcome body image issues and be their best selves.
