A Mumbai film institute made a clever ad skewering India's culture of female objectification, and released it one year after the heavily publicized gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old student.
Though the incident in December 2012 drew international attention for its gruesomeness — a Delhi woman was raped and bludgeoned by six men while taking the bus home from a movie — the new public service announcement puts a vitriolic spin on the practice of everyday street harassment.
The ad was released by the Whistling Woods International Institute on Dec. 16, the one-year anniversary of the Delhi gang rape.
In it, men are seen leering at women while driving mopeds, riding public transportation, and sitting in cafes. Then, the women flip the switch by showing the men just how silly they look checking out a woman who doesn't want their attention.
