Dolce & Gabbana plans to pull the advertisement, which shows a man holding a woman to the ground by her wrists while a group of men look on, following complaints from consumers' groups.
The issue with this advert was that it was believed that the advert stylised male dominance and made it seem acceptable for men to force themselves on to women. The ministry said in a staement: "One could infer from the advertisement that it is acceptable to use force as a way of imposing oneself on a woman, reinforced by the passive and complicit manner of the men looking on.
