UN Women’s New Campaign Highlights Humanity’s Priorities

A new campaign from charity group UN Women has highlighted some of the disparities in the goals of humanity, with an animated film calling for a higher priority of gender equality.

With robo-farms, humans walking on Mars, and a Moon colony all predicted to happen before we reach global gender equality, space isn’t our final frontier – gender equality is.

The World Economic Forum currently predicts it will take 135.6 years to close the global gender gap, a number that increased due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in halting progress towards gender parity across several economies and industries.

In response, UN Women has released a new campaign, created by The Monkeys – part of Accenture Song – and produced by FINCH, that calls on Australians to examine the timeline for gender equality as we trail in this urgent battle.

“Equality: Our Final Frontier”, is an eerie, animated film that shows a woman leaving a protest march in 2022 and walking through a future that changes in every area except gender equality.

The film was directed by award-winning Motion Design Director Jonny Kofoed from film collective Assembly, who used AI animation techniques to transform live action footage into animation, placing a real woman into an otherworldly, imagined future.

Kofoed used existing and emerging technology, as well as real projections, to visualise the incredible milestones humans are currently expected to reach before gender equality.

UN Women Australia CEO Simone Clarke said: “In an age where technological advancements have unlocked the answers to some of the biggest challenges of our time, it’s incomprehensible to me that gender equality ‘might’ exist somewhere in the future. The future for women is now, and we can’t afford to wait any longer. We need to Act Now and make gender equality a reality in OUR lifetime.”

Chief creative officer of The Monkeys, part of Accenture Song, Tara Ford said: “Providing some real- world reference points of advancements in technology and humanity shows just how absurd (and horrifying) it is to have gender equality pegged for even further into the future. Unbelievably it’s now predicted equality will not be seen for another four generations. We hope our campaign inspires action not just contemplation.”

The campaign was created by The Monkeys, with support from UM and Edelman Australia, as well as generously donated media from partners including Seven Network, Nine Network, Network 10, JC Decaux, Southern Cross Austereo, Mamamia, VM Cinema, oOh! Media, QMS, NOVA Entertainment, Running Boards, Hyped Media, Meta and TikTok.
