Abuse Is Wrong on Any Level

We all agree that abuse is wrong on any level, but when it comes to date and partner abuse, mark. is actively assisting women with solutions. Your first question may be, 'who is mark.?' On the general level, "mark. is a "beauty and fashion boutique..." that "...offers young women must have, cutting edge" make up and fashion "trends before they even hit the shelves..." For charity, mark. has chosen a venue to help some of those very same women fight abuse.

Why mark.?

m.powerment by mark.As exciting as being stylish sounds for your outer appearance, you would still have the question of "what does mark. have to do with date and partner abuse?" To answer, I would say that "Women 16-24 experience the highest rates of partner violence, and mark. wants to change that statistic." Much effort has gone into being in tune with inner health and as a result, very important messages have been disbursed. In my opinion, this effort turn heads more than make-up and fashion statements put together. Even though mark. targets particular women, mark. calls us all to be m.powered. Know who you are. Know your choices. Know you are not alone. Quite simply, make a difference now."

Help Women in Distress

Link to My Heart Bracelet by mark.Most people have known or have heard of woman in distress. We have also wondered what to do to help. mark. gives you the opportunity to actively 'do something'. A good start is to click the photo and participate with products from "m.powerment by mark. because it "is a philanthropic initiative committed to breaking the cycle of dating abuse and partner violence."

The Avon Foundation

mark. has done some awesome work toward their cause and the Avon Foundation for Women (http://www.avonfoundation.org/DomesticViolence/) partnered with them to develop a target list of agencies with model programs to educate young people on dating violence. It is good to see the two power houses together because "The Avon Foundation was founded in 1955 with the goal of improving women's lives, and today" they are "the largest corporate philanthropy dedicated to women's causes globally." What an excellent tool to save lives. You can save someone too.

    Thank you for this lens on a very important topic. Unfortunately abuse is rampant. Awareness can help turn the situation.

    Also, I want to thank you for commenting on my lens regarding one page business plans.

    Thanks for the enlightenment. Abuse can be a "bedroom" problem, by that I mean not seen by everyone. It can build and build until it's too late.
