About the Work

Refuge is a UK charity that supports women and children experiencing domestic abuse, providing safe houses for survivors. On average, two women are murdered in the UK every week by violent partners. Domestic abuse increases 33% over the festive holidays. Our Christmas 2018 campaign aimed to reverse this statistic by literally 'turning' on abusers and directing women to the charity. We crafted a series of original poems. When read one way, they present loving relationships. When read in reverse, they reveal the hidden horrors of abuse. The fully integrated campaign comprised tactical press (Christmas magazines); subway posters on London's busiest Christmas shopping routes; festive TV and Cinema slots; tactical Radio on Christmas Eve; interactive mobile and online ads; and alternative Christmas cards. Each execution directed women to Refuge with the CTA: 'If your partner turns on you, turn to us.'
