This commercial, however, defies convention.

NO MORE’s commercial tackles a difficult and painful topic that many women face and has plagued the NFL this year: domestic abuse. According to No More’s website, 64% of Americans say if we talk more about domestic violence and sexual assault, it would make it easier to help someone.

Their commercial attempts to do just that. Watch it now.

If you are the victim of domestic abuse, you don’t have to face this alone. There are many organizations dedicated to helping you, providing everything from a listening ear to advice on how to leave an abusive situation.

If you are in an emergency situation, call 911 or your local emergency service.
