This significant event will take place from May 11th to 22nd, 2025 and is committed to promoting a healthy self -image. A stable self-esteem is considered decisive for mental health and a fulfilling life, report the Oberhausen.de .

The opening will take place on May 11, 2025 at 11:30 a.m. in the Lichtburg Filmpalast, Elsaesserstraße 26, with the film screening "Embrace - You are beautiful". The film addresses social expectations of the female body image and the negative effects of beauty standards on self -esteem. A reading on May 16, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. in the Literaturhaus Oberhausen, Alter Markt 3, will deepen the challenges and opportunities on the subject of self -image.

influence of social media

A central topic of women's health days is the influence of social media on self -image, especially in women and girls. The constant confrontation with idealized bodies and faces on social networks increasingly leads to a distorted self -image. This has an impact on self-esteem and behavior, especially among young users, while social media such as Instagram also affect well-being and physical satisfaction, such as Wissen.de

Psychologist Eva Wunderer from the Landshut University of Applied Sciences examines the connection between social media and eating disorders. Their research shows that young people are often confronted with edited images that influence their perception and demands. Even if young people know that pictures are edited, they often perceive them as more beautiful and natural. This can lead to a vicious circle in which feelings of inferiority develop and those affected change their eating and training behavior to get recognition.

events and discussions

The women's health days offer a space to discuss the optimization pressure, self -doubt as well as mental illnesses and eating disorders. The final event "Walk and Talk" takes place on May 22, 2025, the meeting point is the sports and leisure facility SSB, Lindnerstraße 2b. The aim of the events is to convey impulses for a healthy self -image. The increasing numbers of eating disorders during Corona pandemic show how important such initiatives are.

It is emphasized that influencers are responsible because they often put economic interests about the well -being of the users. The promotion of media literacy is crucial to question the values ​​in society and to support healthy self -awareness.
