There is something truly special about watching women find comfort in themselves especially since the majority of images and advertising is geared toward telling women they aren't good enough.

We at Refinery29 are dedicated to showing all women in all their forms, which is why we are so passionate about our initiative Take Back The Beach. We're done hiding. We're done being told how to look. We're going to enjoy the beach this summer β€” we encourage you to do the same.

ALL WOMAN PROJECT
All Woman Project is a 501-c foundation aiming to better the lives of girls and women worldwide by displaying a true, beautiful, positive and un-retouched image of women in photo and video campaigns throughout the year. #iamallwoman
