TOW #23- visual text

Domestic violence is something that many women face today, and something that has been largely ignored and even accepted and encouraged up until recently. This visual text works to raise awareness for the struggles many women experience.
The woman in the ad is wearing the famous dress that people aren't sure if it's white and gold or black and blue, with the caption "why is it so hard to see black and blue." This is the advertiser's way of showing people that there are more important things in the world that what's going around the internet, and the only way to penetrate the minds of young people is by using memes.
Something that this ad is arguing is that we like to cover up domestic violence, and that it's hard to see it. Many women who are victims of domestic violence are to afraid to speak out, or claim that they love their spouses, so as a society we tend to turn a blind eye and ignore what is going on. 

The bottom of the ad says, "The only illusion is if you think it was her choice. One in six women are victims of abuse. Stop abuse against women." This is a use of logos, showing a statistic for how many women actually face abuse, while calling out those who blame the women for their abuse.

Luckily, lately more has been done to help those who are suffering from domestic violence. Homes have been created, one even nearby, that helps young women who have left their husbands. Hopefully  much more will be done to put an end to domestic abuse, and women won't have to live in fear anymore. Since we've come this far, imagine where we will end up.
