Every woman deserves to live freely. Sadly, in the real
world, many still face the realities of abuse. The abuse ranges from physical
abuse to sexual ones to verbal and emotional abuse—they all come in different
forms. 80% of women are still subjected to abuse worldwide.
Why is that so? We don’t have a language of boundaries, of
saying no, of disappointing people with avoidance or declining to engage
instead of engaging in a conversation we know will be toxic. We don’t ever say,
“I don’t want to talk about that” or “You can’t speak to me that way.”
Now is the time for us to break the chain of violence and
let all the women fly freely as a butterfly. Let’s all help AVON to fulfill its promise to Help End Violence Against Women and Children. Each purchase of the
limited edition Free as A Butterfly Blue Leatherette watch gives Php100 to its
beneficiary. A portion of the proceeds will go to AVON Philippines’ partner NGO’s
that help empower and better the lives of abused Filipino women.
The Free as a Butterfly Blue Leatherette Watch is available
for purchase at Php899 through AVON representatives, or online by visiting www.Avon.com.ph.
Beneficiaries includes Women’s Care Center Inc. In Manila,
Gender Watch Against Violence and Exploitation in Dumaguete, Ing Makababaying
Aksyon Foundation in Pampanga and Luna Legal Resource Center for Women and
Children in Davao.
Join AVON and the rest of us in our crusade by sharing a
