This serves as a take-two for their Love Myself campaign, which aims to protect the youth against violence. The new initiative focuses on promoting the importance of mental health and self-love.
As part of the campaign, UNICEF launched a website where people can write an e-postcard to express their feelings and share their stories or anything going through their minds until May 6, 2024. The e-postcards submitted will appear on the website’s gallery upon review to encourage others to participate and build a community, but you can also opt to keep it private.
