It's time society takes notice of how ugly the quest for beauty really is. Dove believes if we look beyond tall, slim and skin colour, we will discover a whole new world of beautiful.
Take the pledge to #StopTheBeautyTest, click here.
For over a decade, Dove has been working to make beauty a source of confidence, not anxiety, and here's where the journey continues.
Dove India and New Delhi Television Limited (NDTV) present Stop The Beauty Test, a campaign that aims to raise women's voices against beauty stereotypes. Come, let's celebrate beauty in all shapes, colours, and sizes and pledge to create a more accepting society where there is no one particular definition of beauty.
