UN Women Uses Real Google Searches
A new advertising campaign by UN Women has used Google to make its argument.
The campaign is designed to highlight the massive gender inequalities that still exist around the globe.
To make the point, UN Women and its ad agency Ogilvy & Mather Dubai simply performed Google searches with terms such as "women shouldn't" and "women need to" on a single day in September.
The auto-complete suggestions were - and remain - extremely telling, many showing evidence of entrenched prejudice.
Campaign creator Christopher Hunt said: "this campaign uses the world's most popular search engine (Google) to show how gender inequality is a worldwide problem. The adverts show the results of genuine searches, highlighting popular opinions across the world wide web."
I have been in Qatar for 8 years and have been a member all that time. I rarely use this site now as it has become a fora for such nonsense as this. Many of the things this dude says are unacceptable in modern society and just because you can hide behind a screen does not excuse spouting hate and prejudice. I assume that these comments are more to wind people up than the actual values held by people, I don't think real decent humans still hold such values.
jasmine...probably few people like u for example would not find him real...but there is another possibility that there are more than few peoples who find him real...and if u do not like his comments...solution,...move on to next...no need to judge any one here real or fake...let me guess...are u a spam...:P
Just so you know, in the actual world "helping women in their upliftment" was not necessary since the early 1970s. Normal societies (including Qatar) place humans as equal. Perhaps you may like to take a minute to think about some of the powerful and influential women in Qatar who allow you to live here and consider if they would support your utterly invalid, immoral and actually just wrong proclamations?
Molten Metal, are you real? If so please can you explain a few things because your prolific attendance on any anti women thread is not very articulate.
Do you agree that women should not in fact be in positions of power or responsibility?
Do you have a job? Are there no women in your company? Are you married (I hope not).
I can't believe that you express your views in real life except at home which is perhaps why you appear to spend almost all of your life on an anonymous internet forum.
why do women show interest in driving...i think they should interest in diving in swimming pool...rofl...:))
I am sure most were from QL..tcom...ur a part of ql too...:)
high value of validity...so when is the validity expiring...ROFL...:)))..MM...tum jiyo hazaron saal, yahi hai duah meri...english...You jiyo 1000 months (:p), this is priceless....:)
MM, All your points have an extremely high value of validity.
R2R , you are correct , one needs to be tactful to get a strong footing not the hollow drama by some idle politicians.
T.C. Tell me , how a person will look after the globe when her own kid is put in a paid stranger's care ?
T. C., I ask you , Are people { women } serious ?
Humbles & R2R, Good you noticed T. C. & pulled him up , great job , both of you ......... !
Jessie , I 've seen it as a fashion only to say yes to help women in their upliftment.
Jessie, Often people support women's cause, but it will take more time to see the outcome.
TCOM, How can say so my dear ? So many folks who support women here on QL.
Humbles has a valid point.
T. C. That's pure generalisation .... without any facts .......... ............... 26.10.2013, Sat, 09.45 hrs.
Does google have power over Magna Carta on women? why be affected by this search engine? don't be backward, there are already laws that protects women's right, all this ad-campaign to do is a rigid advocacy because many people and culture are still patriarchal-minded.
I am sure most were from QL
Yup. :)
Excellent Campaign!! totally agree, it is time for women to highly recognize especially in leadersip position
