Description
Conectas Human Rights is an NGO that develops important work within Brazilian prisons. They follow up and demand from the government improvements in the penal system, for both female and male inmates. Regardless of being much less numerous than the male prisons, female prisons have the same lack of infrastructure. Less than 3% of the female prisons have childbirth infrasctructure, a really small percentage have access to gynecologists and even the basic hygienical material is not provided. Proportionally speaking, women are even treated worse when compared to men. They're just 7% of the male inmate population, but equal pain is guaranteed. Conectas asked us to show this reality to the population and we thought that it could be more impactful to talk about these subjects when people (especially women) are more emotional about the gender subject: Women's Day.
Execution
During Women's Day a lot of messages celebrating women are published. We though that it might be impactful to remember that on this day, some women wouldn't be celebrating. That's why we decided to publish 3 ads talking about different problems that the female inmates suffer at Brazilian prisons (lack of hygienical basic material, lack of maternity assistance and lack of public defenders) and try to call attention to this problem that doesn't receive enough media coverage and therefore is ignored by the majority of the population.
Outcome
Conectas was so excited about the campaign approach that they decided to tranform it into a post and an infographic. Both of them were posted on their social media and were one of the most liked and shared pieces of their fanpage ever.
