Ad Council: advert-top-1 by Sigal Avin
- Location:
The Ad Council has joined with actor and producer David Schwimmer, writer and director Sigal Avin, the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) and the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC) to present ‘#ThatsHarassment,’ a national campaign designed to empower victims and bystanders to speak out and provide tools for employers to create a safe work environment.
The public service announcements, executive produced by Schwimmer, Avin and Mazdack Rassi of MILK Studios, are shortened versions of films that first launched in April 2017. The films, written and directed by Avin, depict various cases of sexual harassment in the workplace, all based on real events. Schwimmer, Avin and Rassi created this project to highlight behaviors that are unacceptable and to end institutional silence and complicity.
The films take place in various professional settings in which sexual harassment can occur and depict different scenarios where men in positions of power cross the line.
