Description
Not much has changed over the last decades.
Due to sex stereotyping women are still pushed towards housekeeping, so men can pursue a career.
With all due consequences: 125 years of evolution… and women still earn 20% less than men.
So we used the typical washing powder commercial.
Badly dubbed, abounding in stereotypes, and full of clichés.
Where the missus takes care of the household, with a smile.
But by simply pressing a button you can switch to the alternative version.
A version where you can discover: THE UNDUBBED TRUTH.
The images are exactly the same but now, in the undubbed version, we can hear what she’s really saying.
We switch from the clichés to reality
From stereotypes, to more assertiveness.
The campaign invited women to speak up on #speakupepd

Outcome
The campaign invited women to speak up on #speakupepd
The online platform was shared 23.000 times in Belgium alone
It encouraged women and men to put an end to stereotyping,
To raise their voice in all media on equal payday
And close the wage gap.
Equal Pay Day.
