Last week, women activists came together and called on Facebook (META 3.07%) to remove photos that glorify domestic violence against women, including rape. In order to force a change in policy, the collaborators called on Facebook users to contact advertisers whose ads appear next to these heinous depictions.

Fifteen advertisers had pulled their campaign from the social media network, including Nationwide U.K. and Nissan U.K.
