Invincible me: Girls Advance Lab – the first month of project implementation

My name is Adna Sarvan. I am 15 years old and I come from Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina. I graduated elementary school and enrolled in the First Gymnasium in Zenica. The reason for my application for this project is to empower young girls and women.

  • My idea is to make a website in the form of a community that would talk about the mental health of girls and women and other things from everyday life. My goal is to show girls and women that they are not alone, and that there are many people who have been or are currently in a similar/same situation.

I want to teach young girls and women that it is perfectly okay to have body rolls, to have “extra” weight, that weight loss diets are just a society weapon to restrain us from loving our body as it was created. We need to build self-confidence about our own appearance and ignore what society tells us. There are weekly blogs on my site that talk about equality, activism, feminism, bodypositivity, mental health, movie recommendations, series, music, podcasts… 🥰💖

So far, I have not seen a similar website on the Internet. Mental health is portrayed as a weakness, and many girls and women have been ridiculed for their looks and I want to change that. 🥰

I am currently creating an Instagram profile, (@femental.nett), a Twitter account (@fementalnet) and a website (https://www.femental.net). I have already created a logo and some slogans that you can see on my page and this article.

Your confidence boost ♡

Everything a boy can do I can do better ♡

Mental health equals stronger me ♡

I refuse to live as the society tells me ♡

Focus on yourself first ♡

After purchasing the necessary equipment, domain and publishing the website on Wix, I started writing my first blog. The blog talks about the dangers of restrictive diets and how they affect our lives. The same blog was published on Femental’s Instagram page (@femental.nett)

I believe that there are many young people to whom this website will be useful, educational and interesting in terms of strengthening and creating self-confidence. 💘
