Clorox Green Works #NaturalPotential CSR: “Girls in Science” Commercial
Green Works Founding Scientist Maria Ochomogo is shown mentoring her granddaughter Abigail, captioned as a ‘future scientist’. Green Works #NaturalPotential CSR campaign encourages girls to pursue a career in science.
Script
Narrator: “Girls only have a 1 in 1,000 chance of a career in science. Maybe that’s why they don’t picture themselves as scientists. When a group of girls were asked to draw pictures of scientists, almost all of them drew men. But, why he and not she?”
Female Students:
- “Because a lot of people talk about boy scientists.”
- “I’m flipping through pages in my science book and I’m not seeing (many) girl scientists.”
- “I wasn’t really thinking of a girl at that moment.”
- “Because some people think that women shouldn’t be scientists, so it makes it harder for them to be one.”
Narrator: “Girls need more female mentors. With a female mentor, we are more likely to stay in the sciences, which is pretty important because female scientists create powerful things.”
