| Findings of the 2005 Dove Global Study
 “Beyond Stereotypes” is a comprehensive 10-country research commissioned by Dove to explore self-esteem and the impact of beauty ideals on both women’s and girls’ lives. The study surveyed 3,300 girls and women between the ages of 15 and 64 in Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
The findings speak for themselves…
- 90% of all women 15-64 worldwide want to change at least one aspect of their physical appearance (with body weight ranking the highest)
- 67% of all women 15 to 64 withdraw from life-engaging activities due to feeling badly about their looks (among them things like giving an opinion, going to school, going to the doctor)
You can help change this.
We encourage you to read the entire report and share its findings with other women and young girls in your life.
