ITC Vivel Talks to the Women of Tomorrow

Guwahati: A more gender equal inclusive world begins with how individuals choose

to challenge biases and stereotypes. The confidence to think free and own the life choices for a woman

is a perspective that needs to be instilled at a young age. This International Women’s Day, ITC Vivel

changes the narrative with its unique interpretation and rendition of this year’s global theme ‘Choose

to Challenge’. In line with its philosophy of Ab Samjhauta Nahin, Vivel presents the Women of

Tomorrow in an encouraging conversation that reimagines an unbiased, ungendered, bright and

confident future for young women.

Women since their childhood have conformed to a prescriptive behavioral norm which perpetuates

stereotypes and gender-based biases. Vivel’s initiative this women’s day is to enable parents to

break free and consciously begin a transformative journey to nurture a child, especially a girl

child’s individuality and confidence with positive affirmations from a young age.

The campaign demonstrates the importance of this transformative journey and encourages everyone

to nurture the dreams and aspirations. The conversation starter is portrayed in a digital film that lays

emphasis on having positive conversations with children about their own choices, likes and

aspirations irrespective of their gender. Children don’t define their ambitions, or qualities from a

gender lens nor do they limit their thinking. Why then should this innate free thinking process be

molded into a gendered prescriptive patriarchal narrative as they grow? ITC Vivel catalyzes this much

needed change in attitude towards instilling confidence and nurturing freedom of choice at a young

age.

Some lessons are truly taught young and this campaign also marks the launch of ‘Vivel Voice of Art

Junior’ edition. The theme of conditioning, its many faces and implications in everyday life was

examined by the brand’s ‘Voice of Art’ campaign last year. It brought together a large collective of

young artists to weave a new age narrative on Equality through Art. This year, the brand welcomes

children into this fold of ‘unconditioning’. The brand urges parents to help their children create

‘confidence’ boards wherein children affirm what makes them strong, unique and beautiful. Parents

can then turn these boards into art and share it on the brand’s social media pages to motivate other

parents to help nurture this thought in a unique and an endearing way exploring life’s colors together.
