Give The Gift Of Empowerment This Holiday Season
Domestic violence is a pattern of abuse with the goal of establishing or maintaining power and control over the victim. It can happen occasionally or continuously and often worsens over time. Domestic violence includes physical, sexual, mental, and financial abuse. It knows no boundaries: Domestic violence can affect anyone, regardless of income, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion.
To help bring this issue out of the shadows, the Avon Foundation
for Women launched Speak Out Against Domestic Violence, an initiative to
build awareness, educate, and improve prevention and direct service
programs. Through the end of 2012, in the U.S. alone, we have provided
more than $33 million for the domestic violence cause.
As part of our Speak Out Against Domestic Violence initiative, the Avon Foundation for Women provides domestic violence funding to build awareness, educate, and improve prevention and direct service programs. Through 2012, we have provided more than $33 million to programs like the Global Believe Fund, communications and awareness events, and global partnerships.
1 in 4 women will be abused by a partner in their lifetime. You can make a difference 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of this gift set are donated directly to m.powerment by mark.*, a philanthropic initiative dedicated to breaking the cycle of dating abuse and partner violence.
*Managed by the Avon Foundation for Women.
Avon Representative Shaundre shares her personal story of witnessing domestic violence as a child. Growing up in an abusive household, Shaundre and her siblings witnessed countless acts of violence perpetrated by their stepfather against their mother. Eventually the violence escalated to a final act of terror on the day Shaundre's mother was beaten and stabbed to death in her home.
Today, Shaundre speaks out for all children who don't have a voice, and who often go unnoticed when violence is carried out in the home.
Millions of children witness violence in their homes each year, and studies indicate it is particularly detrimental for a child's development when he or she witnesses abuse of a parent or caregiver. Witnessing violence between one's parents or caregivers is also the strongest risk factor of transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next.
The Avon Foundation has been providing grants to domestic violence direct service providers for nearly 10 years, and many programs we've funded incorporate children into their work. While we are proud of our work thus far, we know there's much more to do to end this epidemic, and that many more children and families desperately need help in their own homes.
“Violence against women is a global epidemic. Since 2005, Avon has donated more than $39 million to organizations and programs working to save lives today – and to one day end domestic violence. Learn more at avonfoundation.org. Wear the Empowerment Necklace proudly – you are making a difference! Thanks for your support,” – Reese Witherspoon, Avon’s Global Ambassador

Share & Share Alike
Share
and share alike. You have heard this when you were growing up when
playing with your siblings or playmates. As kids, we never really
understood the concept of sharing. Sure, we were told by our parents
and teachers that sharing is the right thing to do. Sharing is caring.
But as kids we often thought, “No, this is my toy and I don’t want
anyone else to play with it!” Or “Why do I have to share my room with
my sister? Why can’t I have my own room?” Sound familiar? But as we
grow up and mature we realize that sharing can open up endless
possibilities.
Various times throughout my blog posts, I have mentioned events, promotions, and opportunities from my fellow direct sellers and entrepreneurs. Why do this? Well as an independent Avon representative, I know how hard it can be to promote my business. Yes, Avon does support me with various promotional materials, webinars, and advertising. However, one on one feedback is what works best in my opinion. I sometimes think that what my fellow entrepreneurs and direct sellers think is what stands out the most. For example, in my last post, I talked about the Avon Foundation and what it does to bring awareness for causes such as domestic violence and breast cancer. One of my Facebook friends Tracey Brown who has a wonderful beauty blog was promoting daily beauty finds that focused on pink products for October Breast Cancer Awareness month. She was kind enough to mention my blog post and share the information in her beauty blog: http: //blingingbeauty.com/?p=14046. Tracey not only provided her readers with her usual knowledge of great beauty finds, but also allowed me to gain exposure to a new and wider audience. Moreover, it is my hope that by mentioning Tracey in this current blog post, I will gain new readers for her as well. Share and share alike!
So in the spirit of sharing, I would like to mention a wonderful event that is coming up. Alba Henderson of Your Focus and Alba’s Exclusive Events is working on a promotion for women to women marketing. It will introduce AEE’s Vendor Appreciation Holiday and Pre-Launch of their Marketing 2 Women-owned Businesses Initiative. Basically the Vendor Appreciation program will provide extra exposure during the busy holiday season by dedicating one week entirely to your business on a first come first served basis.

Wonderful Services
Tracey's care and knowledge of the Avon's products has given me the opportunity to rely on her when making my purchase. Many times Tracey will either email or call me to advise that my preferred products were either on promotion or about to be discontinued. Such knowl...edge tells me that I am not just a customer I am client who she cares about and understands. Keep doing what you do. Your opportunities are my opportunities.
Women of Color
Although Avon has come a long way in the cosmetic industry, I'm still not impress with it's representation of Women of Color makeup. Not only do your product do not compliment "our" different hues, it also doesn't truly represent our style, sense of well being and cour...age. In order to stay afloat with your competitors i.e., MAC, Sephora, Mary Kay (another one who misses the mark but at least listening) and others who are competing for our business, why don't "Avon re-evaluate your marketing knowledge of "Black" women. Have your representative visit areas where we live, workand shop. Maybe this will give your scientist, a better understanding to what we are looking for and what colors would compliment the many hues we represent. "Dark or Medium Chocolate" which makes some of us look like dead corpse are not good for everyone. Knowing this, challenge "Avon" to step up to the plate and make colors that represents the "sisters" of your market. Sincerely, Val Hameed
