United Colors of Benetton and UN Population Fund: advert-top-1 by Fabrica
- Location:
United Colors of Benetton has launched a global humanitarian campaign for the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), timed to coincide with a London summit convened to end early unwanted pregnancies worldwide.
Devised by the fashion company's own in-house research centre on communications, Fabrica, the global campaign extends an existing relationship with the UNFPA. Power Her Choices seeks to raise awareness of family planning issues through use of a lightbulb shaped like a woman’s womb.
The campaign will be bolstered by an accompanying installation in which lightbulbs are arranged to form salient phrases such as 'I am pregnant'. Upon moving closer to the message, additional bulbs come to life revealing the full meaning of the words: 'I am not ready to be pregnant'.
Documented in a series of videos and gif animations, this work will be shared via an accompanying social media campaign. It is hoped that this activity will enable 120m more women gain access to contraception by 2020.
