Sexist Advertising Continues in New Zealand

One of the supporters of our campaign against AirNZ, the SacraParental Blogg is currently fighting the removal of a giant billboard poster in her own suburb of Wellington.  These billboards have been placed around New Zealand, with little care about the impact this will have to sexual violence towards woman. She put in a formal complaint to advertising standards who have decided that the image is not objectionable.  However, as feminist we understand that rather than this being humorous it is very dangerous to the safety of all woman - as the image helps promote rape culture.  Again, we are seeing poor responses to complaints by Access Solutions and the Advertising Standards Authority.
