Naisten versio Movemberista on Januhairy! Tartutko haasteeseen?

Miehet osallistuvat marraskuussa Movember-kampanjaan kasvattamalla itselleen viikset. Kampanjan tarkoituksena on kerätä varoja ja lisätä tietoisuutta miesten terveysongelmista, kuten eturauhassyövästä

Nyt myös naisille on perustettu versio miesten viiksikampanjasta, kun 21-vuotias englantilainen opiskelija Laura Jackson aloitti Januhairy-kampanjan (vapaasti suomennettuna ”Karvatammikuu”). Jackson toivoo pystyvänsä keräämään Januhairyn avulla 1000 puntaa, eli reilut 1 100 euroa Body Gossip -hyväntekeväisyyskampanjaan, joka tukee naisten itsevarmuutta omaa kehoa kohtaan.

Uudessa Januhairy-kampanjassa pyydetään naisia olemaan ajamatta karvojaan koko tammikuun ajan.

Jackson perusti kampanjalle Instagram-sivun. Aatetta tukevissa kuvissa poseeraa mm. amerikkalainen fitness-malli Morgan Mikenas.

"There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty."~Steve Maraboli • • • @i_am_morgie~ “…Imagine if everyone just decided that today was the day they loved themselves and embraced every part of them selves. Accepting and loving your body and your "flaws" because you know they are what makes you who you are. If you are focused on being true to yourself in every moment, you are less concerned what others think, which will lead to peace of mind. When you have nothing to hide and you can freely be yourself, there is a profound peace/confidence you will emanate to the world that will inspire others.”👏 • • • All the girls joining in januhairy are shaving off their body hair on New Year’s Eve (Monday 31st) ready to kick start the new year with a new challenge!

Hi I’m Laura, the gal behind Januhairy! I thought I would write a little about my experiences and how Januhairy came about… I grew out my body hair for a performance as part of my drama degree in May 2018. There had been some parts that were challenging for me, and others that really opened my eyes to the taboo of body hair on a woman. After a few weeks of getting used to it, I started to like my natural hair. I also started to like the lack of uncomfortable episodes of shaving. Though I felt liberated and more confident in myself, some people around me didn’t understand why I didn’t shave/didn’t agree with it. I realised that there is still so much more for us to do to be able to accept one another fully and truly. Then I thought of Januhairy and thought I would try it out. It’s a start at least . . . I have had a lot of support from my friends and family! Even though I had to explain why I was doing it to a lot of them which was surprising, and again, the reason why this is important to do! When I first started growing my body hair my mum asked me “Is it you just being lazy or are you trying to prove a point?” . . . why should we be called lazy if we don’t want to shave? And why do we have to be proving a point? After talking to her about it and helping her understand, she saw how weird it was that she asked those questions. If we do something/see the same things, over and over again it becomes normal. She is now going to join in with Januhairy and grow out her own body hair which is a big challenge for her as well as many women who are getting involved. Of course a good challenge! This isn’t an angry campaign for people who don’t see how normal body hair is, but more an empowering project for everyone to understand more about their views on themselves and others. This picture was taken a few months ago. Now I am joining in with Januhairy, starting the growing process again along with the other wonderful women who have signed up! Progress pictures/descriptions from our gals will be posted throughout the month. Lets get hairy 🌵 #januhairy #bodygossip #bodyhairmovement #happyandhairy #loveyourbody #thenaturalrevolution #natural #hairywomen #womanpowe

Kampanja on saanut sosiaalisessa mediassa ristiriitaisen vastaanoton. Toiset kehuvat ideaa, mutta toiset ihmettelevät miksei ”epämiellyttävän” näköisiä karvojaan saisi ajaa.

Welcome to Januhairy! The acceptance of body hair on women is unfortunately still a predicament. We are displayed in the media as feeling ‘confident’ when our legs are smooth, eyebrows plucked, armpits waxed etc. Society seems to be behaving as if the natural hair we grow on our bodies is unattractive and distasteful. We are so used to removing our body hair that we are becoming unfamiliar with our authentic selves. Januhairy, is an experiment for women to come together, encourage one another, and be sponsored to grow out our body hair for the month of January. All too raise money for the charity, ‘Body Gossip’! #januhairy #bodyhairmovement #happyandhairy #loveyourbody #thenaturalrevolution #hairywomen #womanpower #selflove #feminine

Jos Karvatammikuu innostaa, siitä vain karvat kasvamaan tämän kuun ajaksi, ja miksei pidemmäksikin aikaa!
