Department of Justice - No Excuses
New work from Brendan Canty for the Department of Justice
We’re very proud to be a part of this hugely important #NoExcuses campaign, which aims to increase awareness of sexual harassment and sexual violence, and ultimately change societal behaviours and attitudes towards this. Ireland has the highest levels of sexual harassment in Europe, and this campaign calls on us to stop excusing this behavior.
A massive thank you to TBWA\Dublin and all of our wonderful cast and crew that made this happen.
