- Avon & Refuge
Speak out to save lives
Last year 72 women were killed by a current or former partner. You can help Refuge by buying Avon’s Empowerment Necklace to help save lives now and in the future. And wear it as a sign of remembrance for those women who were killed by their husbands or partners*.
As the company for women, Avon is dedicated to supporting causes that matter most to women across the world. Avon has launched the Avon Empowerment Necklace as a symbol of infinite hope for a better future and to raise funds and awareness of domestic violence.
All UK proceeds from Avon’s Empowerment Necklace will go to Refuge, the national charity for women and children suffering from domestic violence, and the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM).

Avon's Global Ambassador Reese Witherspoon is the face of Avon's international fundraising efforts for women's causes, including domestic violence.
I feel that as a woman and a mother it is my duty to reach out and make a difference in women's lives. As Avon's Global Ambassador, I've been honored to have an active role in empowering women and raising awareness for important causes that affect females from around the world, including being part of the global mission to end violence against women. I find it shocking that one billion women globally – that is one in every three women – are affected by violence at some point in their lives. That's a statistic we must try to change.
