Media Portrayal

    On the Withdrawal of Dabur’s Karva Chauth Ad

    AIDWA calls for Midas Care and the sponsors of the internet and TV advertisement for “Clean and Dry Intimate Wash”
    16 Apr 2012

    The All India Democratic Women’s Association (AIDWA) calls for Midas Care and the sponsors of the internet and TV advertisement for “Clean and Dry Intimate Wash”- a cosmetic product for women claiming to provide “freshness + fairness”. AIDWA is deeply outraged by the visual depiction which shows the extent of the perversion of the company and the promoters of the ad. This advertisement in the name of personal care shows graphic and intimate details of a woman’s body which is demeaning and derogatory to women. It also promotes racist stereotypes equating fairness with beauty.

    Women's organizations strongly condemn the printing of a morphed image of Brinda Karat, Rajya Sabha MP, in copies of Maxim magazine circulated among advertisers. The offensive photograph exposes a shameful attempt by Maxim magazine to exploit women who have achieved prominence, by portraying them in a demeaning and derogatory way to derive cheap publicity and increase profits.
