Follow on Google News | New Social Experiment By Groove Reveals Huge Lack of Education in Women's HealthWhen faced with the question "How well do you know your body?" many women are surprised to find that they don't know it as well as they thought.
By: Groove Sex education classes provide girls with only a basic understanding of how their bodies work, leading to body image issues and a sense of embarrassment during puberty that often persist into adulthood. “Like many girls, I spent a majority of my teenage years suffering from body image issues, a lack of confidence, and a huge sense of hatred towards my body,” said Jennifer Aldoretta, cofounder and CEO of Groove. “It wasn’t until I was in my twenties that I uncovered the root of my suffering: a lack of education. My whole world changed when I finally gained a deep understanding of how my reproductive system works, and I want to show girls and women that our bodies don’t have to feel so mysterious and unreliable. Our bodies don’t have to be a source of shame. If Groove’s #KnowYou campaign helps even one person, then I consider it a huge success.” Groove’s #KnowYou video (https://www.youtube.com/ Groove wants to show women that getting to know their bodies can provide a huge sense of empowerment. Groove is encouraging people to use the hashtag #KnowYou to share the ways that getting to know their bodies has had an affect on them.
