Elle Magazine Perfectly Captures Political Boys’ Club in Campaign

Gender disparity is still a serious concern in the world of politics; this Elle Magazine campaign makes the point.

The world of politics has long been a male-dominated sphere. We talk about gender equality but when it comes to its implementation, we tend to stick to the stereotypes. In an attempt to highlight this gender gap, ELLE UK magazine removed all the men in the pictures of politicians, leaving the meeting rooms and assemblies looking a bit deserted.

“The story of how women in positions of strength continually support and empower each other is consistently ignored while the myth that we pit ourselves against each other perpetuates,” reads the #MoreWomen campaign page on Elle. “We want to change this narrative in our feminism issue and create a more positive conversation – to reflect the power of women, and to support and grow each other as we push for global equality.”

The video below is a part of Elle’s greater #MoreWomen campaign, and was produced by Alex Holder and Alyssa Boni from RSA films.
