It’s not marketing, it’s a movement:
Our anti-trafficking campaign reaches the European Union, and beyond.
|
|
At The Voices and Faces Project, we believe that communications and storytelling are critical tools in the fight to end social injustice. |
So our in-house creative team is always thinking about new ways to use advertising and design to engage the public in the fight to end sexual violence and exploitation.
The Ugly Truth campaign
— a multi-media advertising effort that made over 400 million impressions in the fight to end trafficking and exploitation in Illinois — was one such effort. Created by The Voices and Faces Project in partnership with our private sector allies at Kinetic Media, this multi-media campaign contributed to changed Illinois law, while opening people's eyes to the very real damage done to those who are sexually exploited. "We wanted to create a public conversation about sexual exploitation in the US, and beyond our borders," notes Katie Feifer, our campaign research director. "And this campaign definitely got people talking."
A local campaign, international recognition. Last month, The Ugly Truth was selected as one of the best anti-trafficking advertising campaigns worldwide, through a Fondazione Giacomo Brodolinas evaluation directed, and in part funded, by the European Union and GendeRIS, which "aims to support and strengthen the fight against trafficking in human beings through a gender sensitive approach." Our Voices and Faces Project campaign, along with the other winning selections from across the globe, will be shown at a gallery in Rome during the month of May. It is also receiving wide exposure on the GendeRIS website, and through EU-coordinated meetings in several European cities.
