Tomorrow, March 8, is the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day. In celebration, Reese Witherspoon has teamed up with Avon to design a this super cute bracelet to celebrate this day. The bracelet is $10 and a whopping $8.04 is going to the charity of ‘Stop Violence Against Women.’
The statistics of violence against women in this country are outrageous. In just one day the following will occur:
- 3 women will die at the hands of their intimate partner
- More than 70,000 domestic violence victims will receive services from domestic violence programs
- Another 10,000 will be turned away for lack of resources
- Domestic violence hotlines will get more than 22,000 calls
So go to Avon.com and get one of these cute bracelets to help support the cause, and celebrate being a woman. They are so cute they would be great to give as gifts to friends, co-workers, sisters, mothers, aunts, cousins or anyone you know that has come in contact with abuse. They would also be a great party favor and it would help raise awareness.
