TRIGGER WARNING: Domestic violence, abuse
This isn’t the first anti-domestic-abuse ad to be released in Saudi Arabia, but it is the boldest. In a country where women have to be accompanied by a male guardian, escaping from domestic violence is almost impossible. The campaign gives women and children a way to discretely report abuse.
