Women are often judged by all kinds of artefacts. Case in point - many people would quickly categorise a woman as prudish, of easy virtue or licentious depending on the length of her skirt, the depth her neckline, or the height of her heels. However, as the saying goes, \u201cClothes do not make the man\u201d nor the woman.<\/a><\/p>

Theresa Wlokka, Frida Regeheim and other students at the Miami Ad School in Hamburg, Germany created an ad campaign for Terre des Femmes<\/strong> - a non-profit Swiss organisation campaigning for women\u2019s rights, gender equality and feminism<\/a> - to highlight the importance of not judging women by their appearance.<\/p>

In other words, a woman\u2019s worth should be measured by factors far more important than the length of their skirts, the height of their heels <\/a>or the depth of their neckline. Thus, the German students conceptualised a powerful series of three ads that depict the chest, legs and feet of a faceless woman and a measuring scale that features words ranging from \u201cwhore\u201d to \u201cprude\u201d, depending on what they're wearing.<\/p>

These ads brilliantly point out how absurd, unfair and offensive it is to make misguided assumptions about women based solely on their clothing choices. Each ad features the tagline, \u201cDon\u2019t measure a woman\u2019s worth by her clothes\u201d and photographer Loli Maeght goes even further with \u201cDon\u2019t measure a woman at all: she\u2019s unmeasurable.\u201d Now that's powerful.<\/p>
