Coined in 1971 by Ilon Specht, a young 23-year-old female copywriter at Manhattan ad agency McCann, our signature still resonates just as much today. The first advertising message to ever highlight self-confidence, our world-renowned tagline is an empowering message that unites consumers around the brand. “Because We’re Worth It” has since become symbolic with empowering women of all ages and backgrounds to believe in their beauty and sense of worth. The inspirational and culturally diverse women who front the brand worldwide make the phrase relevant not just for their generation and their mother’s generation, but for generations to come.
Since its inception, “Because We’re Worth It” has been translated into 40 languages and has become the militant tagline uniting women around the world, encouraging them to fearlessly embrace their ambitions and believe in their self-worth every day.

Stand Up objectives are to raise awareness about the street harassment issue and to empower 1 million people with Hollaback’s “5D’s” methodology - a training program to learn safely how to respond when you are being victim or witness of street harassment. Everyone can join the Stand Up movement by getting trained on standup-international.com, spreading it on social media through a photo taken with a ‘D’ on the hand, and following the hashtag #WeStandUp.
