    PRNewswire07.11.19
    Avon and the Avon Foundation for Women revealed a new $200,000 grant to Vital Voices Global Partnership, which will fund Voices Against Violence, an initiative which builds on Avon's long-standing commitment to help women and girls live safe lives, free from violence. The donation marks the Avon Foundation's tenth year partnering with Vital Voices, bringing its total funding for the NGO to over $4 million.
     
    With current research showing that one in three women globally will experience gender-based violence, experts agree that no one sector alone can adequately confront the scale of this epidemic. In response, Avon and Vital Voices joined forces to form a public-private partnership with the US Department of State over a decade ago. During the lifetime of the public-private partnership, the total number of beneficiaries is 2.3 million people in 66 countries. This broad impact stems from the over 3,000 individuals who have been trained and directly supported.
     
    The new grant will fund the 2019 Voices Against Violence initiative. Voices Against Violence will convene NGOs, law enforcement agencies, service providers and other allied advocates to improve investigation, prosecution, victim safety and survivor support. The partnership is launching Voices Against Violence programs in Argentina, the Philippines and South Africa in 2019. Led by the Vital Voices Human Rights team and its network of experts from around the world, this dynamic program will:
     
    • Encourage conversation: with a training program to help advocates—including Avon associates and Representatives—to support women and girls impacted by violence.
    • Provide information: with the launch of a new website providing awareness and resources about gender-based violence
    • Improve support: continuing to improve and enhance support by working to remove barriers for survivors in accessing justice and vital support services
     
    The first summit of 2019 took place in Manila, Philippines in June, becoming the 52nd training program that Avon and the Avon Foundation have run with Vital Voices. The event convened local experts and dignitaries including the United States ambassador to the Philippines, Sung Kim, and leaders from organizations such as the Philippine Commission on Women, the Philippine National Police and the Development Action for Women Network. 
     
    The program included a full-day training session for Avon associates and representatives, aimed at raising awareness of different forms of abuse and equipping participants with life-saving techniques and resources.
     
    Amy Greene, chair of the Avon Foundation, said: "Avon has been championing women worldwide for more than 130 years. Voices Against Violence is one of the ways in which we're tackling gender violence as part of stand4her – our program which aims to positively impact the lives of 100 million women around the world each year and create a better world for women. This new Foundation funding amplifies the power of our voice. It's crucial that we open up the conversation about gender-based violence and open up partnerships and connection between the players that can make a tangible difference to women who are impacted." 
     
    Nicole Hauspurg, director of Justice Initiatives at Vital Voices, said: "We are honored to have the Avon Foundation and Avon as a partner and humbled by the opportunity to convene such a diverse and dedicated group of advocates to elevate the voices of survivors and those who courageously advocate on their behalf."
     
    Since 2004, Avon and Avon Foundation for Women have contributed $65 million to help tackle gender violence around the world. Tens of millions of women and families have been supported through these efforts through direct services or support and information.
