Lifebuoy Shampoo recently joined forces with the Ministry of School Education Punjab to empower young girls in their education. According to a recent study, there is only 7 percent of female representation in the Pakistani school curriculum. To rectify this, the hair care brand launched the 'Mein Choti Si Aik Ladki Hoon' (I Am a Little Girl) campaign and movement to inspire policy-makers to update the curriculum to include more female representation.
Lifebuoy Shampoo and GREY Pakistan joined forces to rewrite the iconic children's poem by Jameeludin Aali, which is told from a male perspective, to be more inclusive. In an effort to inspire young girls to also dream big, the Pakistani writer Zehra Nigah has rewritten the poem through a female lens.
The new poem has now become a part of the national curriculum at government-funded schools. A reading of the poem, sung by Zeb Bangash, will be launched on mass media including TVCs, print, social media platforms, and billboards.
