Vim nudges society to value women beyond archaic roles

Vim has rolled out a campaign titled, 'Nazariya badlo, dekho bartano se aage' (Change your perspective, look beyond the utensils). 

Conceptualised by Lowe Lintas, the film aims to spread the message that the role of women is not limited to household chores. 

Prabha Narasimhan, executive director and VP – home care, South Asia, said, “We are inspired by the successful women around us who excel in whatever they do, being homemakers and decision-makers. They are already way more than household chores, but sometimes they get limited by society’s definition of chores being a woman’s primary responsibility. If we offload them from these societal stereotypes and the stress caused by them, there is so much more they can and will be. At Vim, that is precisely going to be our endeavour with Nazariya badlo, dekho bartano se aage."

Prateek Bhardwaj, chief creative officer, Lowe Lintas, added, “This campaign speaks to the mindset that when a man does the dishes, he's 'helping' the woman of the house. An act for which society applauds him, when in fact it’s something that he should be doing as a member of the household. Nudging society to realize this double standard that exists was at the heart of this campaign."
