The campaign meant to empower the movement created heated debate within the framework of International Women's Day.
It is not new that a brand tries to join a social movement, but that, due to the execution, the result is not what they expected. Within the framework of International Women's Day, the Panama footwear brand launched its “feminist” line. However, the image and texts published on social networks unleashed several comments and criticisms.
"Facts are loves and not good intentions", as the saying goes, could be a good way to explain what happened. The intention of Panama, as explained in its networks (before deleting them) was to make visible the problem that the country faces with respect to feminicides and gender violence.
The product portrays tennis shoes of different colors with the colors representing the feminist movement printed on the fabric. Some of the messages that the shoes had were 'Not one more', 'I'm not afraid of you', 'You are not alone', 'We want each other alive', among others.
In addition, in the campaign, instead of generating awareness, it caused anger and caused feminist groups to label Panama as insensitive and bad taste.
While in Mexico 10 women are murdered every day, the capitalism of slogans takes advantage of the approach of # 8M to launch an advertising strategy that profits from the pain and anger of those of us who daily experience the violence of the patriarchal system. pic.twitter.com/UEAZtvcdoi

Shout, express yourself, get angry, you have every right and we have an obligation to listen to you, only then does the environment change.
70% of Panama are women.
The other 30%, feminists.
In Panama we are feminists. "

Well, I’ve looked everywhere, but cannot find one damn to give.
Bottom line. The perpetually outraged are outraged. Odd!
I was gonna ask if the feminist sportswear allowed a woman to dress either to the left, or the right, but I see this is about shoes...so, never mind.
I got no dog in this fight.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH...LOL!!!
“with respect to feminicides”
Wait, last I checked only homicide is illegal in most states...
Plug ugly. Must be designed by a fem-ugliest proponent.
“While in Mexico 10 women are murdered every day”
I’m willing to bet $1,000, without googling it, that the murder rate for men is at least double that in Mexico. And that’s a low estimate.
The men are asking for it.
Well that was excessive virtue signaling and not even at it’s finest. Kinda just mediocre virtue signaling.
No habla espanol.
