Hollywood actress REESE WITHERSPOON is
spearheading a new campaign to end violence
against women.
The Walk The Line star, a global ambassador for
cosmetics brand Avon and an honorary
chairperson of the Avon Foundation for Women,
is encouraging people to support the drive by
purchasing the Avon Women's Empowerment
Necklace, priced at just $5 (£3.50).
Proceeds from jewellery sales will be donated to
domestic violence programmes.
Speaking at the Washington, D.C. launch on
Tuesday (03Mar09), Witherspoon said, "Nearly a
billion women worldwide are affected by violence.
"The Empowerment Necklace is an easy way for
all women to take action and demonstrate
solidarity to reduce the worldwide epidemic of
violence against women."
It is the second such campaign Witherspoon has
fronted - she launched the Empowerment
Bracelet last year (08) and raised $4 million (£2.8
million) for charity.
