#10DaysofBodyTalk is an interactive program on: Body Image, Self- Esteem and Sexual Health through peer learning in a fun and safe space.
Started as a social media campaign in 2017, it consists of 10 Topics or ‘Days’ spread over a longer period. The campaign includes sharing posters, experiences, quotes, write-ups as well as specific tasks on several aspects of these three key themes.
As the flagship program which started the whole movement of BodyTalk, it holds a special place and is the heart of our work.
Body Image
Want to feel comfortable in your skin and stop comparing yourself to impossible beauty standards? We’ll help you!
Self esteem
Self acceptance is the first step to building your confidence. Find sisters on the same journey as you.
Sexual Health
Nothing about your body has to be a mystery. Learn about how your most intimate system reveals so much as you.
Poor Self-image, negativity, low self-esteem, too keen to people’s opinion, things I was so familiar with till December 2017 when I joined BodyTalk. Self-love, self-confidence and personal development are my new mantras. Love it!
