We've featured a number of posts on Fake Love about people who seek romantic companionship from plastic dolls. We've also featured several controversial ads that promote awareness for genital mutilation, but never have we had an article that covers both topics.
These ads are for the Association of Women Against Genital Mutilation and feature the tag line, "More than 140 million women in the world are condemned to feel nothing."
The ad campaign features three different love dolls working in fields, carrying a basket, two with children, all of different cultural backgrounds.
While these ads feature love dolls in a negative light, the following articles highlight their positive attributes:
