The Dove Self-Esteem Fund (DSEF) was established to raise the self-esteem of girls and young women to make them feel more beautiful and confident every day.  The Dove Self Esteem Fund is also part of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty, a global effort designed to widen today’s stereotypical view of beauty. 

To make change possible, the Dove Self -Esteem Fund focuses its efforts to foster positive image-related self-esteem in two areas of activity: the funds help develop and distribute resources to enable and empower women and girls to embrace a broad definition of beauty, and provide resources to organizations that foster a broader definition of beauty. 

Dove however recognizes that they can’t alone make changes in a way beauty is defined, Dove in inviting you to get involved.  Dove created the Reality Diaries which is a 6 week program that revolves around the lives of four real girls who share their personal self-esteem stories online.  These diaries allow you to go behind the scenes on their real lives and understand the factors that impact their self-esteem.
