This song and its video are a part of our Women Empowerment-themed music releases for 2022. This song is two-fold in messaging; Firstly, it celebrates the intrinsic value of women through self-affirmation messages. Secondly, it contributes to the Body Right Campaign to end Digital Violence in all its forms, especially against girls and women.

Dear Woman, almost every day, you experience self-doubt about how you look and your abilities. Am I good enough? Am I deserving?
In this self-affirmation music production, we tell you, “What you need to look better, work upon your character. Beauty is within, Embrace it within.” Black, White, Brown, Tall, Short, You’re Beautiful The Way You Are! This message reaffirms the intrinsic value of womanhood.
We all have a daughter, a sister, a spouse, or a friend who needs to hear us tell them just how wonderful they are! Please tell them!

This project promotes the Body Right Campaign, the UNFPA global movement seeking to end Digital Violence in all its forms.

Deeper Women Lead Global is a US-based organization working to empower women worldwide to effectively lead in business and in their own lives so that they may effectively grow, develop, and lead others. We appreciate the visibility and promotion that they’ve given to this project’s message.

Why Reusable Pads

Kasese, Uganda, had the highest rates of teenage pregnancy and child marriage in rural Uganda. According to media reports on NBS Television Uganda, girls in Kasese District were having sex in exchange for getting sanitary pads to use during their monthly periods. This has been a recurring problem for girls in schools in Kasese for decades due to the high poverty levels. A non-scholarship school campaign to avert this that’s affordable, scalable, and with direct measurable results is buying reusable sanitary pads for school sick bays for girls to use, especially those who cannot afford them. This intervention addresses the problem directly and sustainably. Many girls stay at home every month during their periods. Some, according to the above media report and several other Civil Society surveys in Uganda, end up exchanging sex for sanitary pads. This intervention is simple yet with great direct impact. It’s also relatively affordable given our fundraising goals.

Goal

Our goal is to buy ten boxes of Afri-Pads and bars of soap for ten schools that we work with in Kasese, Uganda. The cost of one box of reusable sanitary Afri-Pads with 80 pieces is approximately $250 and one bar of soap is $3, inflation remaining constant. Each piece has four pads which a girl can use for a whole year (twelve months) because they are reusable and can be washed with soap/detergent and water after use. This is sustainable because a girl doesn’t have to buy pads every month.

People want to tell stories about their hopes, purpose, aspirations, fears, and disappointments, among others. It’s only human! Storytelling is the most effective way of communicating. Sadly…”
