The Brief: To raise awareness of crimes against women.

The Insight: Women want to speak up. But they don't know how.

India  is one of the most unsafe countries for women. And when there is abuse of any kind, women are too scared to come forward.

What you see are posters printed on inland letters, one of the leading offerings of the Indian Post.

The bracket would stay steady in front of the moon, as if framing it. The bracket would have the line that translates to ' Get the glow of the moon'

#passonthesorry

In India, amidst the song and dance, Bollywood makes it seem legit to woo women by eve-teasing them. The thought here is that if Bollywood has messed up, they better fix it.

We start the campaign by releasing a letter, in form of a print ad,  by the biggest celebrity of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan. It is followed by an outdoor and twitter campaign, which urges other celebrities to join in doing what's right. 

In the end, we redesign the Filmfare trophy, which is supposed to be the Oscars of India, from a symbol of a objectified woman to a free spirit that she truly is.
