Memac Ogilvy and GEMS Education have partnered for a second year on International Women’s Day to release a campaign addressing the pressing issue of negative self-talk among young girls.

Filmed at GEMS World Academy – Dubai and featuring students from the school, the campaign centers on a striking two-part cinematic film that underlines the importance of recognizing, contextualizing, and preventing self-criticism.

The second part of the campaign will be released one week after International Women’s Day.

The 2023 campaign comes one year after the pair released the award-winning campaign "The Unwinnable Race," which used International Women's Day as a platform to discuss the hidden barriers facing women and young girls in society.
