The poster features a striking image that captures the essence of domestic violence and the urgent need for support. On one side, a woman's hand reaches out, fingers splayed in a gesture of desperation and hope, symbolizing her plea for help. The hand is illuminated, representing strength and resilience amidst darkness.
On the opposite side, a shadowy hand is shown closing a door, signifying the oppressive environment of violence that many face at home. This hand is partially obscured, illustrating the secrecy and stigma surrounding domestic abuse. The contrast between the two hands highlights the struggle between seeking freedom and being trapped in a cycle of violence.
This poster serves as a powerful reminder that there is always hope and help available. It encourages individuals to break the silence surrounding domestic violence and take the courageous step towards seeking assistance.

Stop killing women
According to UN Women, 2022 was the year in which the most women were intentionally murdered to date: nearly 89,000. Of these ‘Around 48,800 women and girls worldwide were killed by their intimate partners or other family members (including fathers, mothers, uncles and brothers). This means that, on average, more than 133 women or girls are killed every day by someone in their own family.’
If it’s not bad enough that femicide is increasing, the real statistic is probably much higher: ‘for roughly four in ten intentional murders of women and girls, there is not enough information to identify them as gender-related killings because of national variation in criminal justice recording and investigation practices’.
