Overview
In India, women still experience high levels of sexual discrimination and violence. Yet, though women make up 49% of the population many Indian women don’t vote in national elections. Tata Tea and Maxus Delhi launched Power of 49 to encourage more women to have a voice on issues that affect their lives and to use their vote to bring about change. The campaign included empowerment stories integrated into India’s daytime TV soap operas, interventions by 50 leading Bollywood stars and a mobile app and website, which enabled women to highlight issues affecting them.
