Women First by Nikotin Pune

Advertised brand: public_interest
Advert title(s): Women First
Advertising Agency: nikotin Pune India
Creative Director: Saurabh Kirtane
Art Director: Nikhil Kukalwar, Ashwin Hirwe
Copywriter: Saurabh Kirtane

Rationale :
A skewed sex ratio is continually on the rise in developing and under-developed countries,
predominantly due to deep-rooted gender biases and a disturbingly misogynistic attitude that equates

Women First aims to promote awareness that this approach will create a world without women,
ultimately resulting in the end of the human race as we know it.

Elections in India, one of the world’s biggest democracies, often suffer from malpractices such as politicians buying votes from the needy masses for a few hundred rupees per vote.  Democracy of Truth, an initiative by nikotin, aims to create awareness during the coming elections about this detrimental practice that eventually leads to the appointment  of corrupt people in positions of great power, despite a severe lack of credentials.
