Every four days a woman is murdered by her partner, and during major sporting events, domestic abuse rises by up to 38%. During the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, data showed that the 1.6 million women living with domestic abuse in the UK would be at risk when their partners returned home post-match.

To highlight the need for everyone to play their part in ending domestic abuse, Women’s Aid teamed up with House 337 and hijacked the UK’s most ubiquitous football phrase, transforming it from a chant to a chilling warning by changing one word. ‘He’s Coming Home’ was emblazoned across a new England flag created by artist Corbin Shaw, and the image appeared on billboards and in a one-shot film on social media.

The campaign went viral, with wide coverage by news outlets. Traffic increased on the Women’s Aid website by 78.3% – and all because of three words.
