Rigid gender stereotypes are a public health crisis. For girls, gender stereotypes are the root cause of body hatred and shame, eating disorders, depression, low self-esteem, and low leadership ambition. For boys, gender role expectations are the primary driver of depression, risk-taking activities, substance abuse, suicide, and violence.The mission of today’s featured nonprofit, The Representation Project, is to fight sexism through films, education, research, and activism. They use media to challenge harmful gender norms and stereotypes. In the past decade, they have launched two national conversations that have changed the hearts and minds of millions.
