“Women need to have someone who will listen,” says Katie Ray-Jones, director of the National Domestic Violence Hotline. “We know that for about 85 percent of our callers, it’s their first time ever telling their story.” But in 2010, 83,027 calls went unanswered due to lack of funding—that’s more than 1,590 calls per week. We can change that.
Glamour, the Avon Foundation for Women and the Avon Speak Out Against Domestic Violence program—an initiative that has donated more than $30 million globally to reduce domestic violence since 2004—are working to make sure that no call goes unanswered from now through October, which is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Text TELLNOW to 85944 to make a $10 donation, and the Avon Foundation will match every dollar you donate up to $200,000. “It takes so much courage for a woman to pick up the phone and make that call,” Vice President Joe Biden told Glamour. Let’s make sure someone is there for her.
