challenges

  • To launch the ‘Bas Ab Bahut Ho Gaya – Enough Is Enough’ Digital Campaign given the high levels of gender-based violence in the country.

  • To assess the role of celebrities and non-celebrities in the Digital Campaign on a Social Issue like this.

Solutions

To run a complete digital campaign for this extremely important cause, we decided to engage all platforms, specifically YouTube.

  • We decided to release 6 different films on YouTube. Of these, 3 are to be focused on celebrities and the rest 3 are to be focused on common people and how they are affected by gender discrimination, highlighting their approach towards the issue.

  • We formed an association with MARD, an initiative by Farhan Akhtar, and announced a nation-wide filmmaking contest for college students. The strategy behind this was to engage youth as well as instill important gender-oriented values amongst the new generation. The 3 best films selected by the jury would be gratified and a hosting of viewers’ choice award would be held on the campaign microsite.

  • Since artists tend to engage the masses, we organized a music concert, Lalkaar, and engaged artists like Farhan Akhtar, Armaan Malik, Harshdeep Kaur, Papon, Salim Sulaiman, and Sukriti & Prakriti.

  • We formed an association with MARD, an initiative by Farhan Akhtar, and announced a nation-wide filmmaking contest for college students to involve the power of the youth in the campaign. The premise was that the 3 best films selected by the jury would be gratified and a hosting of viewers’ choice award would be held on the campaign microsite.
