OVERVIEW

CampaignDescription

We took these statistics and turned the pie charts into actual pies then sold them in Paul bakeries across the country. More than just be the talk of media and social media, 10% of revenue from all ‘Bittersweet pies’ sold would be donated to FILIA center, which will use the donation to finance a project aimed to reduce the gender gap in rural areas and help fight inequality.

Strategy

Even though in Romania women believe there is a general balance between men and women due to the equal participation to the work force, the World Economic Forum released its annual Gender Gap Report that shows exactly the opposite. Out of 145 countries included in the report, Romania falls on 114 in matters of political representation and scores low also in education, health and finance.
