The Avon Foundation and Domestic Violence

The Avon Foundation supports the fight against domestic violence so that we can all speak out against those who victimize one out of three women in the world.

Avon speaks out against domestic violence by selling several products including the Avon Empowerment Bracelet. All bracelet proceeds will be used to create a new Global Avon Empowerment Fund.

You may purchase your Empowerment Bracelet at the Avon website or from any Avon Representative in your area. You can also find the Empowerment Bracelet at my Avon Representative Website.

I'm glad to see Avon in this fight. Yes, DV does hurt. We recently wrote an article on this issue at Brain Blogger trying to isolate root causes of domestic violence.

Consider how poor education, cognitive difficulties (that can be caused by the higher levels of contaminants and drug exposure in poorer communities) and violent enculturation (that occurs in communities that are without good economies and educational resources for extended periods of time, and that have substantial numbers of people who have been in prison) contribute to domestic violence and other violent and criminal behavior.

I would like to read your comments on our article at our site. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Shaheen
