Some of Hollyoaks's female star have taken part in a video campaign for International Women's Day, challenging society's sexualisation of women. The stars, including Bianca Hendrickse-Spendlove, Bronagh Waugh and Jessica Forrest, along with male cast members Dan O'Connor and Tom Scurr, reveal what changes - some jokey, some serious - they believe will make men and women equal in society, for weareequals.org. While Hollyoaks is known for its annual babes and hunks calendar, it also includes challenging storylines such as the subject of date rape. Tamaryn Payne, who plays demanding PR student Annalise Appleton, said: "We will know we are equals when wearing a short skirt doesn't mean you are up for it." Bianca, who plays Texas, said equality would be achieved 'When every girl around the world has the opportunity to go to school'. Former Neighbours star Dan, who plays Aussie hunk Ally Grogan, said he would believe there had been real change: "When a woman referees the cup final." The campaign encourages young men and women to enter the equality debate online.
