Incest Awareness

Background Information
Disney film characters Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, and Princess Jasmine, are being used in a shocking poster campaign to raise awareness about incest. The images by anonymous Middle Eastern artist, Saint Hoax, show the princesses from Disney’s popular animated films, 'The Little Mermaid', 'Aladdin' and 'Sleeping Beauty', being forcibly kissed by their fathers. The three pieces, called, "Princest Diaries" aim to raise awareness that a high proportion of sexual abuse against young people is carried out by family members, according to the posters.Saint Hoax’s website says the work is "an awareness campaign targeting minors who have been subject to sexual abuse by a family member. "The aim of the poster series is to encourage victims to report their cases in order for the authorities to prevent it from happening again." Saint Hoax creates art which often features political leaders and figures from pop culture.

    The Disney movie picture and characters trivialize the serious issue of sexual abuse.

    This is shocking and disturbing which works to bring awareness. But there is no actual information to act. No phone number or website to go to so it makes it seem like it is less about helping people and more about shocking people.

    It's a provocative image—perhaps helpfully provocative, provoking awareness. One sign of how provocative it is: the two most common responses on the "beneficial-harmful" spectrum are the extremes on either end.

    I think that there is good in this propaganda because it does bring awareness to the fact that rape and molestation is not something that happens only, or even primarily, in ally ways and mall bathrooms. However, I wonder if the use of a Classic Disney movie is the best choice. It would draw the attention of little kids and may lead to questions and concerns which they are not mature enough to understand. It is very possible that a young child could see this not have the maturity to realize it is wrong. I do see the shock value and purpose of using it to show the perversion of innocence, however it seems that the harm of the propaganda to the young girls (and boys) who view it might outweigh the good.

    The characters help to target the audience and raise awareness of incest
