Results and Effectiveness

The pregnancy test helped increase the number of calls to the Pro-Life Philippines hotline by 112%.

Creative Execution

Pro-Life Philippines used the traditional pregnancy test as a medium, innovated it, and gave this to women in the university belt (where colleges are). The innovation encouraged the woman the second she finds out she's pregnant--the very moment she's most vulnerable to thoughts of having an abortion. One the test turns positive, a reassuring message appears on the screen. At the same moment, she is urged to call the Pro-Life hotline. Here, she is counseled and encouraged: she won't face her pregnancy alone.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

In the Philippines, more than 600,000 women have abortions yearly, many of them teens. Understandable, for how would you feel if you got pregnant while still a student, with no money, and without a partner by your side to support you? Yet studies have shown that young women who have abortions are 10 times more likely to commit suicide. The objective: convince these women not to have an abortion.
