Rape Crisis Network dismayed by advert

THE Rape Crisis Network Ireland (RCNI) wishes to express its dismay at the latest Benetton advertising campaign.

Rape Crisis Network dismayed by advert

The advert depicts a little girl, two or three years old, completely naked except for a pair of angel wings.

We question the ethics and motivation of Benetton in using this type of provocative advertising. If we lived in a society where children’s bodies were not sexually abused and exploited, this advert would perhaps be less disturbing. But given what we know about child pornography in Ireland, this ad is very disturbing.
