Weber Shandwick Paris has devised an awareness campaign aimed at normalizing breastfeeding in public spaces. “The uncover,” an optical illusion that can transform any person reading in public spaces into a breastfeeding mother, was designed to fit over magazines because they can be read anywhere — at the beach, on the subway, in the library or in a park. It also contains testimonies of parents and health professionals, with additional videos accessible by scanning a QR code. “The uncover” will be distributed in France and can be downloaded on www.uncover-project.com and used wherever women are harassed for breastfeeding in public spaces. The campaign is a collaboration between CoFam, a French advocacy organization; FRIDA, etc., a French maternity brand; MagicMaman, France’s leading parenting publication; and the breastfeeding collective Les Allaitantes des bancs publics. "At Frida, our mission has always been to help women feel free to breastfeed comfortably without hiding," explains Anne Greard and Caroline Berthou, the co-founders of Frida.
