To celebrate International Women's Day this year, my Zumba classes in the first week of March will feature music solely by female artists and raise money for the Pretty Foundation, an organisation focused on building women and girls' body confidence and changing the dominant social discourse about women's value (more information below).
I am donating $5 per participant that attends my Zumba classes at Canberra Dance Theatre. Embrace Pilates and Fitness have committed to the same; donating $5 per participant that attends Zumba at their centre. Club Lime Ladies are also making it easy for members to donate by providing donation buckets at their clubs from Friday 8 to Sunday 10 March. Everyone is invited to donate to this great organisation. Any contribution, big or small, is appreciated!

The Pretty Foundation aims to change ideas around the value of women and girls in society and to empower girls with skills to develop and nurture body confidence so that they can reach their full potential in all areas and stages of life. Research shows that foundations for body image and confidence are laid in early childhood and that body image is one of the top three issues of personal concern among Australian youth. The Pretty foundation, therefore, provides resources and projects to build children's, parents', and educators' understanding of self-worth, body image, health, and resilience and lay preventative foundations against low-confidence, disordered eating, depression, and anxiety.

Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to the Pretty Foundation.
