The principles of the campaign are to :

• share unfiltered stories and images of relatable women and girls playing sport, doing exercise or simply moving in all it’s sweaty, jiggly, doing-it-for-me glory.  
• never judge and we don’t care what other people think.  
• women come in all shapes and sizes with all abilities and from all backgrounds. Some of us are expert sportswomen, some of us are a bit rubbish. It doesn’t matter. 
• This Girl Can are just happy that you’re getting active.
