Blind eye case study

Our Blind Eye awareness-raising campaigns aim to challenge the culture that allows domestic abuse to thrive. By pioneering and using the power of cutting-edge technology, we make sure that nobody can turn away. Blind Eye aims to make the world understand that we all play a role in eradicating domestic abuse. We cannot turn a blind eye.


Look at Me billboard campaign 2015

We collaborated with advertising agency WCRS, Ocean Outdoor and renowned photographer and long-term Women’s Aid supporter Rankin to create the Look At Me campaign as part of our Blind Eye project.

A “global first”, Look at Me was an astonishing interactive outdoor campaign. Screens in key public spaces (Canary Wharf, Westfield Shepherd’s Bush and the Birmingham Bullring) would first show a woman who was beaten and bruised. As long as people ignore them, the images remain the same. But, once people start noticing the screen, the bruises begin to fade and the models’ faces were completely healed.

We used facial-recognition technology to make this happen, employing cameras that could detect when someone was looking towards the screen and then triggering the change on screen. The more people who looked at the campaign, the faster her bruises would heal.








The campaign was phenomenally successful, generating mass awareness of domestic abuse through media coverage in 20 countries, reaching 326.9 million people. The campaign has also received a number of awards:
