I understand, but it's not really working for me.

nails, menstruation and waxing(wtf) ?!? where's the link with violence??? those things are on a totally different level.
irrelevant and poor comparison.
It is for violence against woman.
I really dig this one. Specially cause this subject is kind of a taboo in Brazil, so it has to be discussed in a light way.
MindDigger:
But this is exactly the point. Women complaining a lot of everyday situations such as these. And when it comes to report suffering violence at home or anywhere else, they stay in silence. So this comparison becomes quite relevant.
Agree! It's not that great though, but I like idea the ad series has. It's new for me.

By the way. This campaing is Great. Lovely art direction, powerfull copy. Well done.
Not great.
I think the art direction is fantastic. But if I'm reading the lines correctly, not sure it could run in Europe / US. Conflating the violence with beauty? Suggesting that if they're happy to whine about one but not the other, there's something wrong with them?
£50 says it's a male team.
Edit: so it is.
