Description

MyDaughterWill is a social awakening initiative that is focused on giving Hindu daughters same rights as sons to perform the last rites of a parent. Purely a digital initiative, the campaign’s idea was to raise awareness as well as generate support for a much-needed cause via an online petition that allows parents to change their last will and testament by adding a clause that allows their daughter to light their pyre.

the website design uses the concept of flames and smoke innovatively to unveil elements one by one. When the user logs in, he sees flames take over the page that then condenses to form the MY DAUGHTER WILL logo unit of a girl holding a flame – she being torchbearer of societal change.We created a website as well as social media properties for the same.

The social spot lit the true stories as videos that in turn brought people to the website where the could ‘Join the Movement.’
