Люди – не консерви
SOCIAL CAMPAIGN “PEOPLE ARE NOT CANS”
Statistically, there are almost 6,000 places of unfreedom in Ukraine. These are prisons, rest homes, orphanages, hospices, military units, psychiatric hospitals, and many other custodial institutions.

People are tortured and mistreated in places of unfreedom.
Problem
To draw attention to the living conditions of people in places of unfreedom (violation of rights, lack of food and medical care), stop torture and mistreatment in institutions with limited access.
Who are the monitors?
Monitors are activists and observers who have the right to visit custodial institutions 24/7 together with employees of the Ukrainian Parliament Commission for Human Rights.

The community of monitors is called NPM (National Preventive Mechanism). Its task is to prevent people’s abuse.
Solution
To create a non-standard complex media campaign that attracts attention. It should be understandable to people and “uncomfortable” for officials.
Logo
The logo is based on the idea of ​​monitors’ ability to see through walls 24/7.
Brand Book
We have created an identity that grabs the younger generation’s attention and motivates them to join the NPM volunteers.
In places of unfreedom, the laws of the times of the USSR still apply, with “inconvenient” people being “canned” (put out of sight).

People in places of unfreedom become “cabbages”, break down and degrade. Places of imprisonment must cease to be Soviet “cans”. It’s time to open them and look inside as their shelf life has long passed.

PEOPLE ARE NOT CANS!
Video
Many social rehabilitation institutions do not rehabilitate anyone, medical institutions do not treat anyone, penitentiary institutions do not reclaim anyone. People have no one to ask for help.

Getting into places of unfreedom, people actually lose all rights and become “hostages”, they are humiliated and lose their sense of dignity.

This is our reality today. This is a kind of reality show in which people get against their will. Would you like to take part in this?
