On Its 100 Years Anniversary, LUX Aims to Change Feminine Identity With ‘In Her Name’

Empowering Women Worldwide Through Inclusive Naming Practices: LUX Launches ‘In Her Name’ Campaign.


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 April 2024 – LUX, the global beauty brand under Unilever, proudly announces the launch of its new campaign, ‘In Her Name’, aimed at empowering women, as they bring to attention the unconscious bias of naming children in China.

LUX Launches 'In Her Name' Campaign

Traditionally, when naming children a few names chosen have connotations that reflect gender stereotypes, with girls receiving names like “Quiet” and “Small” to signify demure femininity, while boys get names like “Strong” and “Victory” to denote dominance. Interviews with women from diverse backgrounds revealed first-hand the impact of societal norms on their identities, resulting in unfair treatment or unrealised potential.

LUX, the global beauty brand under Unilever, proudly announces the launch of its new campaign, ‘In Her Name’, on the occasion of its 100th anniversary. The campaign aims to empower women and help them rise above sexist labels – their name. With a mission to rewrite the narrative for the next generation.

PressReleaseTMPhauSWo.jpg

The ‘In Her Name’ campaign by LUX aims to change the way women are named by creating 100 names reflecting the essence of femininity today, drawing inspiration from classical literature, positive connotations, and the evolving landscape of societal development. LUX partnered with Dr. Liu Yanchun, a distinguished linguistics scholar from the University of China, to pioneer a movement challenging societal norms and stereotypes. The collaboration with Dr. Liu Yanchun ensured a thoughtful selection process, incorporating unbiased options to emphasize the diverse spectrum of femininity and promote inclusivity.

Dr. Liu Yanchun said, “In the process of creating these 100 new names, I’ve combined elements from literature, researched terms with positive connotations and took into account present societal norms to craft meaningful names for the women of today.”

LUX collaborated with digital artists to showcase each selected name through visually stunning illustrations, with a unique design for every name, enhancing the experience of choosing a name and celebrating the beauty of femininity. The unveiling of the 100 new names has taken place on social platforms Little Red Book, Weibo and Douyin. Women from all walks of life could choose new names for themselves that best represent their spirit and character.

“Our ambition with in Her Name” campaign is to create a movement challenging the status quo that still today, confines some women to narrow stereotypes.,” said Severine Vauleon, Global Brand Vice President of LUX. “By collaborating with Dr. Liu Yanchun and harnessing the power of language, we aim to raise awareness about gender bias for Chinese names and inspire women to react to the initiative of adopting powerful names for themselves. By doing this, they will help to foster a more inclusive society where women are celebrated for their strength and resilience.”

Marco Versolato, Chief Creative Officer – Unilever at VML Singapore, who spearheaded the campaign, commented, “The ‘In Her Name’ campaign represents a shift in how we perceive and celebrate femininity. By reimagining the power of language and visual representation, we have the opportunity to challenge stereotypes and create a more inclusive future for women worldwide.”

The impact of the ‘In Her Name’ campaign extends far beyond naming conventions, reflecting LUX’s commitment to championing diversity, inclusivity, and gender equality. Join LUX in the ‘In Her Name’ campaign and be part of a movement celebrating the beauty, strength, and resilience of women everywhere.

Yeebo Passes Resolution at SGM on Disposal of 20.02% Equity Interest in Nantong Jianghai

Introduction of Strategic Shareholder Enhances Nantong Jianghai’s Growth Prospect


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 April 2024 – Yeebo (International Holdings) Limited (“Yeebo” or the “Company”, stock code: 259, which together with its subsidiaries is referred to as the “Group”) has held a special general meeting (“SGM”) to pass resolution for the very substantial disposal of certain shares in Nantong Jianghai (stock code: 002484.SZ). The resolution was passed by 100% votes. Billion Power Investment Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yeebo, entered into an agreement to sell 170,130,000 shares in Nantong Jianghai to Zhejiang Construction Investment Group Limited (“Zhejiang Construction Investment Group”).

Mr. Douglas Fang, Chairman of Yeebo, said, “We are pleased to have gained the support from shareholders to pass the resolution on the disposal of the shares. As a strategic shareholder of Nantong Jianghai for 19 years, we believe that this is a good and appropriate time for Yeebo to bring on a state-owned strategic shareholder. Such addition to its shareholding structure will uniquely position Nantong Jianghai, offering it the opportunity in combining the best of both the private sector and state-owned enterprises. The transaction will further amplify Nantong Jianghai’s growth and development prospect – leveraging on the prospective strategic shareholder’s distinctive and competitive advantages, integrating complementary synergies between the two companies, as well as tapping into new market opportunities through vertical expansions.”

Nantong Jianghai has long ranked among the best in China’s capacitor industry. It commands considerable lead over its peers, especially in the industrial segment. Such change in the shareholding structure will open Nantong Jianghai up to the vast resources and opportunities, that are typically exclusive to the state-owned enterprises.

Zhejiang Construction Investment Group is a wholly owned subsidiary of Zhejiang Communications Investment Group Co., Ltd. (“Zhejiang Communications Investment Group”). Zhejiang Communications Investment Group is backed by the Zhejiang Provincial Government and belongs to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Zhejiang Province. Zhejiang Communications Investment Group is one of the two major investment platforms of the Zhejiang Province. As at the end of 2023, Zhejiang Communications Investment Group had total assets of RMB931.3 billion and recorded revenue of RMB328.8 billion. It was ranked 310th among Fortune Global 500 in 2023.

Upon the completion of the transaction, Yeebo will retain an 8.81% stake in Nantong Jianghai. Yeebo will stay on as a strategic shareholder, and remains confident on the robust growth prospect of Nantong Jianghai. Moreover, the proceeds generated from the sale of shares in this transaction will not only enhance Yeebo’s financial strength but also serve as a catalyst for further business expansion and development.
