PART 1 : The beginning

BeTheChange team ( Maria Mavridopoulou , Αλεξια Σταυροπουλου , pkarvounidou , Maggie Papadopoulou ) - an effort to break the standards of beauty, make women feel comfortable in their own skin, fight anorexia nervosa.

We live in an era when everybody is judged by their looks, and especially women are judged by their weight. There is a common belief according to which the thinner a woman is, the more attractive she looks.
So, they are identified with specific size standards in a way that they are endangering their health reaching the stage of anorexia nervosa. Annoyed by this occasion we decided to make an effort to break these kind of standards and make each woman feel comfortable in her body .Our main goal is trying to help those women who have already subjected theirselves in this procedure. We are focusing on women around Greece and specifically in Athens.
