Toxic Fur in China campaign

Description

In Europe several studies have shown that toxic chemicals (harmful to human health and sometimes even banned) are found in fur clothing. ACTAsia will be carrying out research on fur clothing in China and then running a public awareness campaign to showcase the results and inform. The focus will be on clothing for children and a number of communication channels have been identified. However, it is necessary that someone familiar with culture in China, helps us to develop the wording and imagery (the approach) of the campaign and messaging we will use.
