FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PROCTER & GAMBLE SPONSORS #WOMEN ALWAYS MATTER
CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT THE NATIONAL WOMENS LAW CENTER
CINCINNATI, OH, AUGUST 8, 2016 The Procter & Gamble Company
(NYSE:PG) today announced that its wholly-owned brand, Always, will cooperate
with the nonprofit organization National Womens Law Center (NWLC) and sponsor
a one-month Women Always Matter event to raise awareness of gender equality
through video-collecting and a public service ad. In order to celebrate 2017
International Working Women's Day, a video-collecting event on a theme of gender
equality will take place online, starting on January 1, 2017, ending on February 30,
2017. The campaign will clip the videos from the internet and create a public service
ad that will be shown on the electronic screen in New Yorks Time Square. UN
Women Goodwill Ambassador, accomplished actor and humanitarian Emma Watson
will be the spokesperson for the event.
We really wants to sponsor this event, because it can improve our brand values for
customers, said President and CEO of P&G David S. Taylor. In 2014, our brand
Always released a femvertising called #like a girl, and this only three-minute long
video has received more than 20 million hits within five days on YouTube.
Unfortunately, no country in the world can yet say they have achieved gender
equality, said Marcia D. Greenberger founder and co-president of National Womens
Law Center. Sometimes we also want to use the influence of the brand to spread the
concept of gender equality.
-moreGender equality is achieved when women and men enjoy the same rights and
chances through sectors of society, including decision-making, and earning the same
respect as men in the political field, said Nancy Duff Campbell, founder and copresident of National Womens Law Center.
"The reality is that if we do nothing it will take 75 years, or even a hundred years
before women can expect to be paid the same as men for the same work, said Emma
Watson. At current rates it wont be until 2086 before all rural African girls will be

able to receive a secondary education.

The event will run through the first two months of 2017, ending on February 30. The
public will upload their five-second long video online to support the event.
