Today, March 8th, the world is celebrating International Women’s Day. The campaign theme for International Women’s Day 2020 is #EachforEqual. An equal world is an enabled world, and together each of us can help create a gender equal world. Gender equality doesn’t just advance the well-being of women, but benefits people of all genders through peace and security, economic prosperity, health, and happiness.
March is also Nutrition Month and here at SCHC our vision is healthy women everywhere, capable of anything.
Research shows that as girls approach adolescence the advantages of early childhood quickly get overshadowed by high rates of sexual assault and other violence, a sharp decline in mental health and confidence, and negative stereotyping and sexualization.
Body image is how we view our bodies. Negative stereotyping and sexualization results in distorted body image and unrealistic expectations of what a “healthy” body looks like. A distorted body image often leads to other issues such as eating disorders and mental health problems. Research shows that women with healthy body image are more likely to be physically and mentally healthy.
