Is a rose too flowery of an image to represent an issue like female genital mutilation?

  • I don't think so!

  • The message they are trying to communicate is clear and they are trying to reach a large number of people - a flower is a good symbol (beautiful, represents fertility, fragrant) and you need to use a symbol, because the images of real mutilation would be unacceptable to most of us.

    Here's a link to a pod we did about this subject - "Female Genital Cutting".

  • this ad campaign gets the point across quite nicely that this is a barbaric practice that needs to be targeted and dealt with accordingly. bravo for raising awareness in a provocative way that's sure to get attention!!!

  • This image is powerful. The natural beauty of the flower is marred by crude man made stitches as the body is marred in this abusive practice. The visual allusion is shocking and quite memorable. Excellent ad.

  • it's perfect. it shows natural beauty being suppressed or destroyed.

  • I can't stomach the idea of an actual image of genital mutilation, in fact there are laws against displaying such images in public in several states. So a euphimism is far preferable and if it drawing atention than it is doing its job and sheding light on this issue.
