is this psa about abusive relationships effective?

a psa about abuse from ijane inc., copyright 2003.

Often women who have suffered dating or domestic violence are portrayed as and encouraged to see themselves as victims. This ad, narrated by Halle Berry--who has herself been in several abusive relationships--skips the victim language altogether. "Walk before it's too late," she says. "Your choice." Is it that easy? Do you think this ad will help people in this situation? Have you ever been in this situation?
