Hey Girls: advert-body-1 by Adam&Eve/DDB
- Location:
Social enterprise Hey Girls UK has printed a DIY sanitary towel in this morning’s newspapers to highlight the grim options available to young girls who cannot afford sanitary items.
The double-sided ad has been designed to capture the attention of readers with a cut-out outline of a sanitary towel, with ‘fold’ printed on its wings.
Those that turn the page, however, are presented with a stark fact: ‘One in 10 girls in the UK can’t afford sanitary products. Every month they’re forced to use loo roll, socks, or even a newspaper.’
The copy also features a call to action – for every box of Hey Girls sanitary towels purchased, the organisation donates a pack to girls in period poverty.
