The Mtv Staying Alive Foundation and Durex Announce Global Sexual Health Collaboration to Inspire a Generation THE MTV STAYING ALIVE FOUNDATION AND DUREX ANNOUNCE GLOBAL SEXUAL HEALTH COLLABORATION TO INSPIRE A GENERATION London (4 April 2013) – The MTV Staying Alive Foundation, the world’s largest youth- focused HIV and AIDS awareness and prevention campaign, and Durex, the world’s largest condom brand working in sexual health for more than 80 years, today announced a landmark collaboration to inspire young people around the world to take charge of their sexual health. The multi-year collaboration will focus on creating and supporting innovative programmes to empower young people to adopt positive sexual attitudes and behaviour. The project’s aim is to work towards achieving an HIV-free generation while revolutionising sex education. This year, the collaboration programmes include: ‘On the Ground’ – A programme in which Durex will support 10 of the current the MTV Staying Alive Foundation grantee projects in Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa, both financially and through mentoring and training support (see attached Grantee project information). Driven by aspiring young leaders, these innovative projects are wide ranging, from producing creative, educational fairs around HIV awareness in high schools and universities, empowering young women to make informed decisions about sexual health and contraception through street theatre to training DJs as peer educators, relaying safe sex messages through their music. ‘Revolutionise Sex Education’ – a youth engagement and education programme, to be unveiled later this year will include compelling messages - from a documentary to public service announcements, and will be linked with a website hosting information on positive sexual behaviour, providing young people the opportunity to engage and contribute with their peers around the world. Volker Sydow, Durex global category director – sexual wellbeing, said: “Sexual health and sexual wellbeing are at the core of our organisations; we have a shared vision to improve sexual health for young people around the world and the energy, commitment and passion to make that happen. As a leading sexual wellbeing brand Durex is very proud to be working in this collaboration with the MTV Staying Alive Foundation and really excited about bringing it to life, to make a meaningful difference to young people around the world.” Georgia Arnold, Senior Vice President of Social Responsibility at Viacom International Media Networks, said: “For the past 15 years, the MTV Staying Alive Foundation has been working hard to influence positive sexual behaviour among young people through compelling and relevant programming and grant-giving around the world. We are so thrilled to be partnering with Durex, and I am confident that together we can inspire and impact even more lives with educational and meaningful content.” Notes to editors: Information on the 10 Grantee Projects is attached.

  • Sexing Capitalism: Condoms and Industrial Change Peter Chua, San Jose State University
    San Jose State University From the SelectedWorks of Peter Chua August, 2004 Sexing Capitalism: Condoms And Industrial Change Peter Chua, San Jose State University Available at: https://works.bepress.com/peter_chua/17/ Sexing Capitalism: Condoms And Industrial Change Peter Chua Department of Sociology San José State University [email protected] Paper Submitted for the 2003 99th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association, San Francisco, CA Sexing Capitalism: Condoms And Industrial Change Abstract In the late 1700s, condoms were luxury items for the affluent in Western Europe, but by the 1970s, the US government gave free condoms out to poor women in Third World areas. Moreover condom availability has increased dramatically since the global emergence of the AIDS pandemic in the 1980s, adding to the already fervent social stigmatization and political contentions on morality, sexuality, and wellbeing that condom use brings. This paper focuses on the strategically joint-relationship between manufacturing firms and governments to foster distinct profit-oriented condom social relations and moral-symbolic regimes of sexual cultures. Proposing a sex-situated theory of capitalist firms, the paper examines the crucial social aspect of condom production, focusing on the changes in the condom manufacturing industry from its initial colonial- “warfare” period (1880s-1930s), its period of massive welfare-state expansion (1940s- 1970s), and its recent neoliberal consolidation (1980s-2000s). Keywords Capitalist Institutions, Sexual Cultures, Condom Commodities; Social Aspects of Production; Economic Neoliberalism Sexing Capitalism: Condoms And Industrial Change In the late 1700s, condoms were luxury items for the affluent in Western Europe, but by the 1970s, the US government gave free condoms out to poor women in Third World areas.

    IIMC-CRC-2015-09 IIMC CASE RESEARCH CENTRE (IIMCCRC) PRASHANT MISHRA, TINU JAIN MARCH 2014 DUREX IN INDIA: THE CATEGORY NORMALISATION CHALLENGE THE ORIGIN Reckitt Benckiser, a British multinational consumer goods company, has brands like Dettol (the world's largest-selling antiseptic), Strepsils (the world's largest-selling sore throat medicine), Veet (the world's largest-selling depilatory brand), Air Wick (the world's second- largest-selling air freshener), Calgon, Clearasil, Cillit Bang, Durex, Lysol, and Vanish in its portfolio among many others. The company entered into the contraceptive market acquiring Durex brand globally and had started to run that business since Nov’12. Durex has been making highest quality condoms for nearly 80 years. With over 30% of the global branded condom market, it is the number 1 condom brand in the world. However despite dominant market position globally, the brand has the challenge to change the perception of Indian consumers and channel partners regarding sexual well-being (male contraceptive) to normalise the category and drive growth. The current market share of Durex is around 4%1 in India, a market which is underdeveloped compared to other markets regarding the category size and growth. The brand team acknowledges that there is a lot to be done to make the brand a formidable player in the sexual well-being (male contraceptive) category. A recent study commissioned by the Durex brand marketing team has thrown up some interesting facts about the category dynamics and challenges in marketing condom in India. While pondering over the results, the team was clear about one thing, that to play 1 Source: Brand Marketing Team Survey This case was written by Professor Prashant Mishra and Tinu Jain at the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta.

  • Hutchison China Meditech ("Chi-Med") (AIM: HCM)
    Press Cutting Publication: FT.com Date: 13 February 2013 Reckitt gets taste for Chinese remedy By Adam Jones Reckitt Benckiser has bought a manufacturer of traditional Chinese sore-throat remedies as part of a drive to add more holistic treatments to its stable of western healthcare brands. The UK-headquartered maker of Nurofen painkillers, Strepsils lozenges and Durex condoms on Wednesday said it had acquired Oriental Medicine Company for an undisclosed sum. Reckitt said the cost was modest as it announced the deal in annual results, featuring a 2 per cent increase in pre-tax profits compared with 2011 and a 7 per cent rise in the dividend. However, it still represents an eye-catching diversification for a western consumer goods group and comes in the wake of Reckitt’s purchase of Schiff Nutrition International, a US vitamin company, for $1.4bn late last year. Rakesh Kapoor, chief executive, said Reckitt had to keep up with changing consumer behaviour: “People think about their health in much more holistic terms. It is about how do you lead a more balanced life.” Oriental Medicine’s main remedy was a sore-throat powder, he said. The company makes all its sales in China, the group added. Western companies have been showing growing interest in China’s traditional medicine sector. In November Nestlé agreed a tie-up with a traditional Chinese medicine company controlled by Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing. Although Reckitt one day hopes to use Oriental Medicine as a sales platform for its western healthcare products in China, Mr Kapoor said it was too early to say if Reckitt would seek to sell traditional Chinese remedies outside China.
