Anti-abuse ad causes online stormv http://news.iafrica.com/sa/985787.html



An image of a battered woman in a tight-fitting gold and white dress has triggered a social media storm in abuse-ridden South Africa and around the world. The picture was published in local newspapers as part of a Salvation Army campaign highlighting the scourge of the abuse of women in South Africa.

The church group's advert shows a blonde woman wearing a copy of the dress that recently generated a massive online debate as to whether it was white and gold or black and blue. The woman wearing the dress in the Salvation Army picture has dark bruises visible on her face and body. The caption reads "Why is it so hard to see black and blue?... One in six women are victims of abuse. Stop abuse against women."

The intention is good, but perhaps they chose the wrong race.
