Please support the 1in4women campaign and consider a challenge of a lifetime! – Refuge
Today, domestic violence is the biggest issue affecting women and children in this country. For the last three years Refuge and Avon have worked together to raise awareness and to support women suffering in silence. Today we are launching a powerful, new campaign – 1in4women – which focuses on the shocking reality that one in four women will experience domestic violence at some point in their lives.
We are asking women to speak out against domestic violence and reach out to support a friend in need by downloading our new Facebook application – 1in4women http://www.facebook.com/RefugeCharity?sk=app_199302946791980-%20 or by visiting http://www.1in4women.com.
With only 16 per cent of women reporting incidents to the police, the majority of domestic violence is suffered in silence.
Please join us and speak out against domestic violence by downloading our 1in4women app and tweeting about the campaign: #1in4women experience domestic violence. I’m supporting @Avon_UK & @RefugeCharity to help break the silence http://www.facebook.com/oneinfourwomen
With your support we can reach out and support hundreds of women who are suffering right now up and down the country. Together we can help them to live futures free from violence
Whilst you are helping to support the 1in4women campaign why not think about raising money for Refuge by joining our 40th birthday skydiving team?
Skydive for Refuge and you could have this amazing once in a lifetime experience for free – as long as you raise the minimum amount of £395 your jump won’t cost you a penny. The funds you raise will help protect the services Refuge runs for women and children who have experienced domestic violence.
If you don’t fancy doing it alone then how about arranging a team building day out for colleagues at work? A team sky dive event could be a perfect team building exercise which will create memories forever!
