Found via Feministing: A Dubai organization combating intimate partner violence created these make up kits with a message. Specifically, each color in the palette represents a different kind of abuse. For example, one can use a specific color "If punched in the face...,"If hit with utensil," "If kicked in the stomach," "If smacked in the eye..."
The brush in the kit says: "Don't cover up injustice. Speak." It also includes the City of Hope's hotline number. The kits were given out at shopping malls in Dubai.
These should be constructed elsewhere. I wonder what kind of makeup could cover emotional, spiritual, and verbal abuses.
this is extremely powerful.
