About us
Flourish NGO was founded in 2019 under the name of Baroots. Since then we have come a far way and refocused our work towards body diversity work and inclusion.
To create an inclusive and diverse society where everyone has the opportunity to flourish, regardless of their appearance, affiliation, or body size.
Our mission
Our vision
We imagine a world where all bodies can live shameless and joyful lives. In such a world no human is judged by its size or body type, and the most diverse bodies feel valued, included and seen. Everybody can grow up and grow old fulfilling their full potential, without unreasonable limitations by physical or societal space.
To raise awareness of weight bias and promote the principles of body neutrality in Latvian and European society.
To educate people about discrimination based on body weight, shape, and other aesthetic aspects, and to take action to reduce it.
To work towards creating a physical and emotional environment that is accessible and welcoming to people of all body types.
To strengthen the capacity of non-governmental and governmental organizations to include diverse groups and to mitigate discrimination and hate speech.
