“By the time you finish reading this sentence, another woman will become a victim of domestic violence.”
Join Avon in their global mission to empower women and put a stop to domestic violence. Avon’s Speak Out Against Domestic Violence program puts out some staggering numbers:
- One in 3 women, worldwide, will be a victim of domestic violence-physical, sexual, emotional abuse- at least once in her life.
- In the U.S., a woman is battered every 9 seconds
- More than 3 women are murdered every day by their husbands or boyfriends
- More than ten million children watch this abuse and often carry the violence into their adult relationships
“Behind every impersonal statistic is a real woman who needs empowerment.”
Do the numbers make your stomach turn? Do you feel compassion for the victims? Do you feel enough emotion to do something to help? Avon has made it very simple for you to get involved.
Avon pledges to give 100% of net profits of their Empowerment fundraising products to reach their goals of eradicating domestic violence, promoting gender equality and providing opportunity for women everywhere. Together, with you and I, Avon can create a greater awareness of these issues.
Avon Global Ambassador and Spokesperson, Reese Witherspoon, encourages us to take part saying, “As individuals, it’s almost impossible for us to be effective, but together, we can change the world.”

Not only are these fundraiser products for a good cause, they are actually beautiful pieces you would wear over and over!
