Local dairy company Benna has defended itself from accusations of sexism and said that an advert which showed a man fantasising about his female colleague was not intended to offend.
The company was reacting to controversy over an advert it released for its Red Velvet Milkshake, which some claimed objectified women.
In a statement on Wednesday, Benna said that the video was not intended to offend, though it added “we completely understand how it may be interpreted differently.”
“We support gender equality throughout and at no stage would we promote otherwise,” the company said. “We continue to listen and value both praise and criticism to constantly strive and improve in all our efforts.”
