Recently, the brand announced its partnership with Plan International, a global non-profit organisation, which is leading the movement to campaign for the rights of young women and girls, to take their fight against gender inequality a step further.
To create a buzz around the campaign, the brand executed an event inviting powerful women including Anuja Bansal, Executive Director, Plan International India, Dr Niharika Yadav, Professional Super Biker, Anju Mangla, first female police superintendent of Tihar men’s jail and Vankadarath Saritha, first female DTC bus driver in Delhi, who broke the shackles of gender stereotyping.

The Body Shop brand ambassador Shraddha Kapoor posted about the campaign #DreamBig on her social media handles, further fueling the amplification plan around the campaign.
