Terre des Femmes is a human rights group that has turned its eye to [women's clothing choices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) for a [powerful ad campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mwcurated) titled 'A Woman's Worth.' It centers around images of a woman's chest, legs and feet in order to show the levels of first impressions a woman can make depending on what she's wearing.

Created by [Miami Ad School Europe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/college-football-27), which is based in Hamburg, Germany, the Terre des Femmes campaign overlays a scale on each image. This scale ranges from 'prude' to 'whore' depending on where the length of shirt or skirt begins or ends. Utterly eye-opening, the Terre des Femmes ad campaign cleverly shows how unfairly judged women can be based solely on what they wear. This can result in lines being crossed.
