Jessica Biel hopes to encourage women to "stand up for what they believe in!"
Biel, the former "7th Heaven" star lately shared her plans to start a sex educational online series to help young girls understand what is going on inside their body. The said campaign will give other women the information they need with regards to puberty and contraception, as reported by Glamour.
Biel and her husband, singer-actor Justine Timberlake, decided to have a child two years ago, and so she stopped taking the pill and then realized that she does not have any idea on what do next.
The online movement that she, together with husband's support, is planning to set up will give guidance to women who are in similar situations. She continued by stating, "We want girls to know what their [body is going through] so they don't feel scared or ashamed or gross." To get the message out, Biel explains, "we share girl stories, fears, and insecurities. The tone is informative but also goofy, smart, witty."
Saundra Pelletier, an activist and founder of the nonprofit health care organization WomanCare Global, will be teaming up with Ms. Biel on her online endeavor. They are planning to discuss topics that will range from puberty to contraception. The sex-ed videos can be watched at womancareglobal.org.
Very few celebrities discuss things like menstruation and the Pill, but Biel shared how she felt when she first got her period in fifth grade, "I was in a school play, wearing a gray beard and this pad the size of a skateboard and thinking, what is happening to me?" E! News reported.
Biel's online movement got the support of her fans. They are delighted that there will be informative videos that can help young girls with such situations. The web series will be released on Sept. 28.
