Express Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself: Gender and Self-confidence | Ulrikke Falch | TEDxBergen |
|
Have you ever been bullied for not fitting into the gender stereotype? In this talk, Ulrikke Falch sheds light on the very prevalent gender conformity issues in society and offers a whole new perspective to gender norms. Ulrikke Falch is an 23-year-old actress, author, and activist from Norway. She gained fame from the Norwegian tv-show SKAM, in the role as Vilde Lien. Ulrikke uses her platform to spread awareness about eating disorders, mental health, and feminism. In 2019 she released a documentary called The F-Word, a series that depicts our attitudes to gender and expectations to masculinity and femininity. Her main cause is to reveal structural and cultural convictions that contribute to maintaining traditional gender roles. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
