The Womens Rights Secretariat is protesting to the countrys National Advertising Council and asking them to suspend the 16-second TV ads which they claim reinforces the stereotypes of women as sex objects, celebrity news learned.

The ad is filmed in Portuguese, the national language of Brazil, but includes subtitles in English. There are currently three ads which feature Gisele, worlds richest supermodel, delivering unsavory news to an unseen spouse or partner off-camera while dressed in scanty lingerie.

What Hope Lingerie aims to portray in the ads is that a:
