"Violence in red" poster series

Within the context of WHO's Global Campaign for Violence Prevention, the Organization has commissioned two series of violence prevention posters, each depicting images relating to various forms of violence. The "Red" series portrays bold close ups of parts of the human body tainted in red, symbolizing the impact of violence on the body and on health in general. The concepts for these posters were selected from a group of eight different poster concepts, after broad consultation with key WHO violence prevention partners worldwide.

The posters, prepared by Fabrica, the renowned creative design company based in Venice, Italy, serve as visual support to the awareness-raising Global Campaign for Violence Prevention and the World report on violence and health. The posters are currently available in English and French.
