Invisible Women

Agency: Serviceplan

Description

In France today, 1.7 million women do not have the financial means to buy intimate hygiene products – or not in sufficient quantity. Consequently, it’s difficult for some of them to continue with normal day to day life with dignity when menstruating. For some, the solution lies in absence, with these women preferring not to show up at their place of study or work during their period.
In a bid to highlight the problem of period poverty in France, House of Communication France teamed up with Règles Élémentaires, a non-profit organization helping women with financial constraints preventing them from accessing feminine hygiene products, to create “Invisible Women”, an unprecendented TV campaign involving removing women weather presenters from the screens temporarily.
For the campaign, Règles Élémentaires and House of Communication France partnered with 9 TV channels, including 3 major national channels. They hijacked one of the most popular TV programmes: the weather forecast. When it came to presenting the weather, the women did not show up, on the pretext that they were having their period. In a matter of seconds, there were thousands of surprised reactions on social networks, up to the moment when the operation was revealed at the end of the weather.

This professional campaign titled 'Invisible Women' was published in France in February, 2021. It was created for the brand: Règles Élémentaires, by ad agency: Serviceplan. This Integrated medium campaign is related to the Public Interest industry and contains 1 media asset. It was submitted almost 3 years ago.
