Over 120,000 votes were cast in the United Nations contest aimed at finding the best ad to promote awareness about the battle to defeat gender-based violence. The winning entry “Treat me like a Woman” was created by Gjoke Gojani.
More than 2,700 entries from 40 European countries – prepared by both professionals and ordinary members of the public – were submitted in the contest, and three winners will be selected. The winning entry, chosen by a seven-member jury of experts, will be revealed at an awards ceremony in November and a youth winner will be selected by Fabrica, the Benetton Group communication research centre and announced in September.
