According to a global report released by The Body Shop<\/a> on International Women\u2019s Day<\/a>, one in two women across the globe feel more self-doubt than self-love. Sixty percent of those women wish they had more respect for themselves. Unfortunately, as a young woman living in her mid-twenties, the statistics don\u2019t surprise me. I am confident in myself and my abilities but am not immune to self-doubt as a result of the new rising pandemic: the self-love crisis.<\/p>\n

British actress and activist Jameela Jamil<\/a> knows all too well the significant repercussions of low self-worth. At a young age Jamil had developed an eating disorder and body dysmorphia which lasted well into her teens and early twenties. In 2019<\/a>, the Good Place<\/em> star posted a 2009 image of herself to social media and admitted that at the time she believed she was fat due to ideals manifested by the media.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really urge young women out there to be careful about what they\u2019re reading, what they\u2019re seeing online, who they\u2019re following and whose words they\u2019re listening to,\u201d Jamil told GRAZIA during a round table interview with fellow journalists. \u201c[They need to] re-educate themselves about the capitalist system that has been built to destroy their foundation of self-worth. That has been deliberately chipped away at in order to disempower and distract women so that we can\u2019t catch up as a gender.\u201d<\/p>\n

‘The Milennial Therapist<\/a>‘, Sara Kuburic has also partnered with The Body Shop and echoes this advice.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerfection is not the goal, authenticity is.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She continues, \u201cIt\u2019s ok to ask for what you deserve. Actually, you should<\/em> ask for the things you deserve. I think for women, we\u2019re not encouraged to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
