New ads hinting at domestic violence offends the ‘unoffendable’

One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime, according to the National Violence Against Women Survey.

This woman could be your sister or mother, your next door neighbor, the cashier at the supermarket, the sales associate who starts you a dressing room. She could be your best friend, your boss’s wife or our co-worker. She could be… the model in an advertisement in our favorite fashion magazine, trying to sell a suit or haircut at the expense of domestic violence?
