Joy Personal Care's #JustEmpowerOne campaign aims to help acid attack survivors

Joy Personal Care, the Indian skincare brand under the aegis of RSH Global, has announced the launch of ‘#JustEmpowerOne’ campaign, with an intention to positively impact the economic condition of acid attack survivors.

Conceptualised with empathy at its core, the campaign aims to bring forth the challenges of woman acid attack survivors to the world. The campaign's purpose is to support women in need and inspire other organisations to come on board.

An acid attack survivor, post the incident faces physical, psychological, social and economic adversities. Hence, as a first step towards solidarity, Joy hired Pampa Das, an acid attack survivor as an executive for its ecommerce department.

The brand aspires to inspire empathy in society and encourage people to show support towards the larger cause. Audiences can contribute to the cause simply by clicking on a support button on a microsite created for the campaign. With this initiative, the brand will ensure Rupee 1 is donated for every click.

For this, the company partnered with ‘Atijeevan Foundation’ to interact with and understand the needs of acid attack victims and significantly impact their lives. The total fund collected through the campaign will be handed over to Atijeevan Foundation who in turn will utilise it for education or for setting up small business for acid attack survivors.

To spread awareness and garner support, the brand has also tied-up with ShareChat and Moj to promote the campaign. Moreover, the brand has also introduced a filter on Instagram which audiences can use to show solidarity and spread further awareness.

With use of emotive creatives and interesting pop culture messaging, the brand aims to reach out to varied audiences across India.
