INSIGHT: When it comes to sexual violence, no-one should act like nothing has happened. IDEA: It’s time to stop acting.
In April 2018, we hijacked the biggest event in Hong Kong entertainment: The Hong Kong Film Awards. On the night of the event, the presenter for the ‘Best Actress’ award appeared live across the nation and stole the show, quite literally, with our campaign message: IT’S TIME TO STOP ACTING. When it comes to sexual violence, no-one should act like nothing has happened.
The hijack sparked a nationwide conversation. The campaign received over HK$3m in PR value. Calls to our Support Helpline increased by 15%. Hong Kong’s Law Reform Commission (the ‘LRC’) has begun reviewing the law on non-consensual sexual offences. All resulting in the most effective campaign in RainLily’s history. And a major step in breaking the silence on sexual violence.
As a media idea that brings the issue of sexual violence to centre stage, ‘Best Actress Hijack’ was the first of its kind. We hijacked the biggest event in Hong Kong entertainment—The HK Film Awards—and used the live event itself as our platform to reach out to millions. This had never been done before.
