A crucial resource for young women

Many young women are facing extraordinary pressures. Powerful media driven messages about body image, relationships, intimacy and sexual decision-making are leaving many girls confused, isolated and at risk. We have never seen worse outcomes for girls across a range of indicators from mental and physical health to sexual assault and self-harm.

The time has come to start telling a different story. The time has come to assist girls to see beyond a fragmented, distorted and limited view of womanhood portrayed in film, print and online media.

Beautiful is a comprehensive DVD and print resource for use by teachers, youth workers, youth pastors and others working with young women.

By exploring the pressures of a highly sexualised media culture and its effects in the lives of girls, Beautiful offers young women a chance to listen to a deeper voice. A voice often drowned out by the noise of a world that exploits them for profit and ignores their silent hope of something better.

Beautiful is a powerful and innovative DVD experience involving expert input from professionals working directly with young women. It is ideally suited for use in schools, youth programs or any initiative that seeks to help teenage girls build a better tomorrow.
