Funds from m.powerment by mark. address dating abuse, sexual violence
AMHERST, Mass. - Everywoman’s Center at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has received a one-year, $9,960 grant from the beauty and fashion boutique mark as part of its m.powerment by mark. Healthy Relationship Peer Educator Program, which is managed by the Avon Foundation for Women through its Speak Out Against Domestic Violence initiative.
The grant will support Everywoman’s Center’s efforts to promote healthy dating relationships and reduce sexual violence among members of sororities and fraternities. This is the first year Everywoman’s Center has received funding from the m.powerment program.
The grant is one of 23 totaling nearly $220,000 awarded to colleges nationwide to fund a network of dating peer educators on college campuses. The Everywoman’s Center’s educator advocates will collaborate with the Office of Fraternities and Sororities to develop innovative prevention programming relevant to Greek life that addresses relationship violence, sexual assault, harassment, stalking and the promotion of healthy relationships. Currently there are 40 registered sororities and fraternities at UMass Amherst.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, women ages 16-24 experience the highest rates of partner violence and dating abuse, which affects millions of people and often results in physical and emotional injuries and even death. According to the National Dating Abuse Helpline, one in three girls who have been in a serious relationship say they have been concerned about being physically hurt by their partner.
'We are proud that the Avon Foundation for Women and m.powerment by mark. share our mission and have chosen to support our program. With these funds, we will be able to reach out and develop specific programs with the Greek community at UMass,' said Becky Lockwood, associate director of rape crisis and violence prevention programs at Everywoman’s Center.
The Avon Foundation for Women, the world’s largest corporate-affiliated philanthropy focused on issues that matter most to women, was founded in 1955 to improve the lives of women. The Avon Foundation launched Speak Out Against Domestic Violence in 2004 to support domestic violence awareness, education and prevention programs, as well as direct services for victims and their families. Through the end of 2010 in the United States, the Avon Foundation has donated more than $23 million to the domestic violence cause. Globally, Avon supports efforts to end violence against women in more than 50 countries by raising funds through special Empowerment product sales and raising awareness through educational information disseminated by more than 6 million global Avon representatives.
