One in Three is grounded in the frightening statistic that one in three women worldwide have been victims of physical or sexual abuse.
Happn, the leading dating app that enables users to discover the people they’ve crossed paths with in real life, has teamed with international human rights organization Equality Now to communicate an important message.
During International women's week, 1 out of every
3 girls displayed in the timeline will be a model portraying a survivor of domestic violence.
The profiles identified these 4 women by the name “I’m One in Three”. The first image shows a woman who appears to be bruised, followed by a progression of three additional images that signify the woman is healing.
This conveys the powerful message that paying attention to violence against women and noticing its survivors is an important first step in ending this scourge. Happn encourages its users to support Equality Now in its mission by raising awareness for this issue, allowing them to make a donation and join in on the conversation.
The TWENTY ONE cities in which Happn conducted the One in Three campaign are: Paris, London, Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Rome, New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Sao PaUlo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, Oslo, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Bogota and Hong Kong.
