Women and the right to vote

0 Comments
Today is International Women’s Day. I've developed the habit to write a post every year around this date stressing the absolute need to create a culture of respect and equality, a culture that values diversity. Today I'd like to highlight this concept again, this time remembering one of the bigger fundamental achievements women reached: the right to vote.

Gender equality
This Sunday is going to be Women's Day. So this seems to me a good occasion to share the 2019 Gender Equality Index. Advances in this field cannot be considered completely satisfactory, however we have made some progress in Europe. Let us work even harder to achieve new goals in the next future.

Diversity in supermarket
In recent years the world seems to have gone mad and many countries – including UK and Italy, unfortunately – have developed “attitudes” that are not very inclusive towards diversity, be it in terms of gender, origin or lifestyle. I was looking for a good example able to show the reason why those “attitudes” are profoundly wrong and absurd when I bumped into the powerful ambient marketing activity organised some months ago by Edeka, a German supermarket chain. Curious? Read on!

Meatless on Mondays
Greenfield Natural Meat Co., in order to prove they truly believe in sustainability, have launched a social campaign to encourage people to go “meatless on Monday”. That is their contribution to lower the consumption level of meat and guarantee a better meat quality in the market.

Women have thick skin
In 4 days it will be International Women’s Day. An occasion to remember that equality and diversity aren’t antonyms and that human kind needs, desperately, both, along with politeness, respect for everyone and openness of mind. Last year I discovered the powerful and poetical campaign of FCB Amsterdam dedicated to women's empowerment and I’ve kept it aside for today.

Wash your hands… and your book
Angfa, a Japanese soap company, has had an admirable and sophisticated idea. In order to communicate the importance of hygiene and in particular of washing hands to the children of Cambodia, they’ve created a very special book for them.

Coffee tolerance
Popradská, a Slovak coffee producing company, aims to contribute to a better world with their advertising campaign: instead of making a commercial about their product, they’ve created an ad about coffee tolerance, focusing on the right of everyone to drink the coffee they like.

Bad days, healthy walks
Having a walk of at least 30 minutes per day is very important to stay fit and healthy: it alone can reduce the risk of heart attack by 20%. In order to stress and imprint this fundamental concept in people’s minds, FFC - French Federation of Cardiology have created and launched a social campaign targeted especially for women.

Your Grandma would love this
Today it seems always more difficult to keep in touch with people who don’t use online tools. Project GramGram is an initiative to help everyone to keep in touch with people that aren’t on social networks, focused especially on elderly people and – in particular – grandmas. Are you curious?
