The Women’s Empowerment Bracelet

avon_empowerment_bracelet
Most of you have probably heard how Rihanna missed the Grammy Awards because her 19 year old boyfriend, Chris Brown beat her. Rihanna was left with a split lip, bloody nose, bite marks and head contusions. You can read more about this story here.

Why bring this up?  Because it’s an excellent opportunity to tell you about the Avon Women’s Empowerement Bracelet.  Rihanna is not the only woman to suffer from domestic abuse. 28% of women (a US nationally representative sample of women) reported at least one episode of physical violence from their partner.

Bracelet proceeds will be used to create a new Avon Empowerment Fund. The first $500,000 from bracelet sales will be matched by the Avon Foundation for a total donation of $1 million to UNIFEM, the United Nations Development Fund for Women, for projects that will empower women around the world.

Reese Witherspoon is the honorary chair of the Avon Foundation and spokesperson for this campaign.

Bracelets sells for $3 at Avon.com. Buy one today to help women around the world get empowered!
