Challenge
Even though both forms of Arabic exist (masculine and feminine), brands and government in the Middle East address women with the wrong pronouns on average every 17 seconds. As a key partner to brands and the home of real-time conversations in the Middle East, Twitter needed brands to better reflect the voices of all genders.
Idea
Trigger change through the launch of #FeminineArabic, a new language feature that allows brands and users to address Arabic women as they should be addressed, as women. And to popularize the movement, enlist support from the biggest influencers in the region – brands.
