    BACKGROUND!

    ! Movimento Nacional de Direitos Human is an umbrella

    organization in Brazil that exists to strengthen the collectivevoice of 400+ human rights organizations (27 in Pernambuco)!! To help ensure that society is receptive to the work that its

    constituent organizations do, MNDH wants a campaign to

    improve the reputation of human rights defenders!! Human rights defenders are poorly perceived by society in

    Recife and Brazil; they fight not only the human rights issues

    they defend, but the stigma of being a human rights defender!

    WHAT IS THE RED BALLOON

    CAMPAIGN?!The red

    balloon symbolizes

    violence in Recife.!It represents all the

    different types of

    human rights issues

    that are both the

    cause and effect of

    the violence!And popping the red balloon is

    a metaphor for how human

    rights defenders are necessary

    to reduce the violence in Recife!

    WHY THE RED BALLOON?!! Appealing: Everyone

    loves balloons, especially

    popping them!!! Familiar but different:

    A well known object

    given a unique and

    dissonant association!

    ! Arresting: Manyballoons together are

    a wonderful sight!! Dynamic: very visual (e.g:

    for film), very aural (the

    pop sound, e.g: for

    radio), and very tactile

    (e.g: for outdoor) !! Practical: Low budget

    device with high

    impact!! Simple: The popping

    metaphor is easy to

    understand!

    ADDITIONAL BENEFITS!! The idea is strengthened by an array of additional benefits that

    it delivers, in addition to the key campaign objectives!!

    ! Should increase understanding of what the MNDH organizations are doing!! Communicates that everyone has a role (society, organizations, authorities)!! Can be used to increase participation (recruitment campaign for HR defenders)!! Should help to bring MNDH closer together as an organization; being

    representative of each organizations human rights issues!! Creates fundraising opportunities (initially through the film, then through T-shirts)!
