This is a woman’s aid advert against domestic violence and violence against women and children featuring Keira Knightley.
Quite moving to put it lightly.

Right on to Keira Knightley and her brutally realistic portrayal of a woman who is a victim of domestic violence. According to statistics reported by the National Network to End Domestic Violence, nearly 1,200 women each year — three every day — die in America due to domestic violence. One in six women has experienced an attempted or completed rape; more than half of all rapes to females occur before a victim reaches the age of 18; one-quarter of high school girls have been victimized by physical abuse, and over a million women are stalked in this country every year. These numbers are overwhelming and women need to WAKE UP to the reality that they need to protect themselves against violence inside and outside the home. Personal protection devices such as tasers, stun guns, pepper spray and mace are non-lethal and legal in most of the U.S. These products could save a woman from being brutally attacked and allow her the opportunity to get away from the predator. An excellent resource for these products is http://www.stingergirlz.com which also lists hotline numbers for every state for women who are victims of violence and need help.
