About: Women are 14 times more likely to die in a natural disaster. Then there’s the added threat of sexual assault and violence. These threats increase in darkness, so the UN Women National Committee Australia launched this ad campaign to coincide with International Women’s Day to show how something simple like a solar lantern can have an impact on women in need. The pro-bono ad aims to raise awareness and help people empathise with the dangers women face in disaster, crisis and conflict settings. With more awareness the UN committee hopes to reduce the number of preventable female deaths and prevent violence against women and girls following natural disasters.
