Eposa Creates An Enchanted Garden To Empower Assault Survivors

Butterflies for hope

The Beirut and Dubai based bridal boutique Esposa, the brand that Mona Kattan recently did a Bridal campaign for, has launched a beautiful initiative in support of assault survivors. In partnership with ABAAD: Lebanon’s Resource Centre for Gender Equality: ABAAD, the project aims to urge women to speak up against assault, providing them a platform to do so.

The process involved the team approaching assault survivors personally and having them share their story, consequently destigmatising conversations surrounding the subject matter. The women then created their own butterflies which were then digitally duplicated to create 12,000 copies to fill the boutique store in Beirut.
