And you thought we didn’t need feminism

According to DesignTaxi.com, the UN joined forces with Christopher Hunt of Ogilvy and Mather to create awareness for gender inequality.

If you're one of those people who wonder why awareness for gender equality is needed, please don't waste our time by commenting, but rather read this article, compiled by the Discovery Channel and backed up with United Nations research.

In some countries infanticide and femicide is committed as boys are seen to be more valuable than girls. Many women across the world aren't allowed to own or inherit property. They are also not free to choose who to marry or divorce and thousands of child brides die in their marriage beds and in childbirth every year.

The cleverly conceived ads show the actual Google search results of search terms like “women need to”, “women should” and “women cannot”, showing you exactly how people across the world still think about women's rights.
