This
campaign by AMMAR, a non-profit organization fighting for human rights and
labor laws for sex workers in Argentina, is attracting a lot of attention worlwide.
The ads on street corners are certainly provocative as they
point out the realities of Argentina prostitution; 86% of Argentine sex workers are mothers.
Viewed from one direction, they show a
hooker plying her trade. Turn the corner, however,
and it turns out she's a mom. The campaign, created by Ogilvy
& Mather, Buenos Aires, Argentina, pushes the boundaries by using
the ‘shock factor’; it is very clever, perfectly executed and it clearly highlights the need for laws to protect women in the sex trade.
What a great way to start the conversation! Art has always been a way for people to connect.
