CAEPV Member of the Month - The Avon Foundation
Congratulations to The Avon Foundation -- CAEPV's "Member of the Month." As a significant leader in women's empowerment and health, The Avon Foundation expanded their support for the domestic violence cause with the program Speak Out Against Domestic Violence. Speak Out was launched in 2004 to help end the cycle of domestic violence through support of awareness, education, prevention and direct service programs, with a special focus on assisting children affected by domestic violence to break the cycle of violence for future generations.
Through 2008 over $10 million has been awarded to 350 domestic violence organizations in the U.S. alone. Of this, over $3.9 million was awarded to more than 120 organizations that help children of domestic violence.
The Avon Foundation has funded an educational DVD available free of charge that helps viewers recognize signs of abuse and respond appropriately with critical referral information. PSAs and millions of free Domestic Violence Resource Guides are also distributed to raise lifesaving awareness.
Speak Out has also expanded globally, breaking barriers and changing the landscape of the domestic violence issue in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Italy, Lithuania, Mexico, Philippines and Puerto Rico.
In 2008, the Avon Empowerment Fund was created, and the first recipient selected was the United Nations Trust Fund To End Violence Against Women, managed by UNIFEM, the UN Development Fund for Women. To launch this fund, Avon created its first global fund-raising product — the Women’s Empowerment Bracelet — sold by more than 5 million Avon Representatives in over 40 countries. Bracelet sales will support programs and agencies in the countries of origin dedicated to reducing and preventing violence against women. The first $500,000 in sales was matched by the Avon Foundation for a total donation of $1 million to the UN Trust Fund, which has awarded more than $19 million to 263 initiatives to combat violence against women in 115 countries. The Avon Foundation's support will allow the Fund to expand its grant-making capability.
Most recently, The Avon Foundation created the Speak Out Against Domestic Violence video. The video creates an emotional connection to the Avon Foundation's Speak Out Against Domestic Violence program and provides hope for those who are victims of domestic and intimate partner violence. Watch Video
We are proud to have such an involved and dedicated organization as a member of CAEPV!
