Dolce & Gabanna has angered many people with this ad, which features a woman being overpowered by a gang of men. It's pretty clear why people are getting so upset. From D&G's perspective, they are happy that everybody is keeping an eye on their ad and will never forget the brand.
International Amnesty has asked that these ads in Italy be withdrawn, considering the ads "a praise of the violence toward the woman".The announcement is the similar to the announcement already made by the Spanish Institute for Woman. "The right of the woman to live free of the nightmare of the violence needs all less than those images of Dolce&Gabbana", indicated the president of Amnesty International.
