Billie started doing its part to welcome women into the Movember movement with a video that throws up all the stigma in connection with upper lip hair.
Facial hair is a symbol masculinity for men, it makes a man complete when it comes to his looks. November is a month of no-shave which already gained huge popularity among men since a couple of years .”MOVEMBER” is a movement which encourages men to grow facial hair throughout the month to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer research. This already reached a very huge population through various social media platforms. But wait, there are many women around and among us who are facing difficulty with the growth of unwanted facial hair. When it comes to women, facial hair is a stigma surrounding her body since forever. Some women have the growth of body and facial hair as a part of pcod\pcos and some others might face this due to severe hormone imbalance. whatever may be the fact a woman with facial hair is often body shamed. however, women all around the world were left out of the Movember until now.All thanks to Billie, the international shaving brand that created the first-ever campaign with a brand new initiative that reminds everyone that women have upper lip hair too! They have invited women to join in the ‘Movember’ movement this month. Derived from the word moustache (mo) and November, Movember involves men growing out facial hair, especially moustaches, to improve awareness about men’s health, including conditions like prostate cancer and testicular cancer.See the video here Billie started doing its part to welcome women into the Movember movement with a video that throws up all the stigma in connection with upper lip hair. In the clip, women are seen embracing facial hair. ‘Cause a ‘stache is a ‘stache, and we shouldn’t let our perfectly good ones go to waste,” the women in the video say.Now, women are being encouraged to join in. The video shared by the brand shows women narrating the painful procedures they often undergo to get rid of the facial hair. It has them asserting that “women have moustaches too”.
The movement hopes to reduce the high level of stigma attached to women’s body hair for years. such movements are yet to be received by women all over the world to the stigma that surrounds different body-shaming activities.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
