Campaign of the Week

The two faces of domestic violence

Domestic violence often goes unnoticed or ignored by friends and neighbours, even when it is happening right under their noses. Victims and abusers have a tendency to present a united front in public, and Amnesty wanted to remind people to be more vigilant and aware of the issue.
Amnesty created an interactive billboard that tracked eye movement at a bus stop in Hamburg. The message of the ad read: "It happens when nobody is watching". An eye-tracking device detected when someone was looking at the billboard and delivered an image of a seemingly happy couple smiling at whoever was looking at it. When that person looked away, the image transformed into a scene of violence, with the man beating up the woman.
