Postcard to emancipation

A unique campaign to create awareness about women’s rights:

It’s just a rectangular piece of thin cardboard, innocuous in terms of influence, even fragile if one considers its breakability. But the message it is seeking to deliver is potent – Empowerment.

Little wonder then that round the world 62 million girls don’t have access to education, 1 in 3 women experience gender-based violence in her lifetime and more than 287,000 women, 99 percent of them in developing countries, die from pregnancy and childbirth-related complications every year.
