Women's Aid commercial: "The monsters who came to tea"
Hi friends,
Hey guys, maybe it's because I've started reading books to my little one before bed, but that?House 337?ad for?Women's Aid?really hit me in the feels—I had to take a quick sip of water.
After all the?#genderequalitywashing?campaigns we've seen lately, finally, one that feels real and hits straight in the gut.
To lighten things up a bit, there's a?Tesco?campaign for Pancake Day and two super stylish branding pieces:?Elica?and?Rollr.

Tea Time with a Twist: confronting domestic abuse through storytelling
Women's Aid?and House 337 have reimagined the classic children's tale,?The Tiger Who Came to Tea, in a new illustrated book titled?The Monster Who Came to Tea. Unlike the whimsical tiger, this "monster" symbolizes the?harsh reality of domestic abuse, invading homes and causing chaos. This poignant narrative aims to raise awareness about the lived experiences of many children facing such trauma. The initiative is part of a broader campaign urging?UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer?to prioritize funding for domestic abuse services. The book serves as a cautionary tale and an educational resource to help children recognize unhealthy relationships.
