Today The Body Shop Australia proudly launches it's 5th campaign against domestic violence and relationship abuse.
This year we've partnered with the White Ribbon Foundation and together we're trying to break the silence on domestic violence.
According to data from the ABS one in three Australian women will experience physical or sexual violence in her lifetime.
Of 500 women aged between 16- 30, surveyed by The Body Shop, 71% claim they would confide in a friend, while only 37% would turn to official authorities such as the police or a support group. More than a quarter (27%) of women said that they wouldn't know where to get help if they were in a violent relationship.
You can help break the silence by:
- emailing the link to our campaign website www.stopviolence.com.au to all your friends. Be sure to add it to your Facebook page too!
- picking up some of the free, wallet-sized, information cards from one of our stores to share with your friends.
- buying a limited edition Shea Butter Lip Care Duo - with all proceeds going to White Ribbon's work implementing school education programs that teach students about respectful relationships and non-violence.

Domestic violence is such a big issue. who says male and female are equal?

It's great to see The Body Shop & the White Ribbon Foundation contributing to society in such a meaningful way, especially about a topic which is so often considered taboo. And while at times it seems overwhelming, it's encouraging to know that together we can make a great impact.
