Tbh the new campaign by Abaad is very upsetting, and not for the reasons they intended it to be. Yes, sexual violence is a big issue in Leb, still taboo, with silencing and victim-blaming, but hear me out - this applies to the whole ngos+ad agencies trend (thread/rant⬇️)
1) the ad shows the woman as merely a victim. Not a survivor. Not a multi-dimensional person w/ depth. A victim, surrounded by, mostly, threatening men. That’s a pretty normative picture to draw. Plus it frames the woman through a lense of pity, tells u to feel sorry for her
2) I realise many people hold the victim-blaming discourse, I am not shocked to see it repeated by (the supposedly unaware) bystanders. I am shocked, however, to see that discourse unchallenged by the ad and the overall campaign.
