Break the Silence on Domestic Violence - Talk to a friend!
Research by The Body Shop highlights the value of female friendship, as (59%) of women if affected by domestic violence, claims they would confide in a friend, yet a much smaller porportion would turn to official authorities such as the police (21%) or a support group (14%).
The Body Shop 2008 Stop Violence In The Home campaign calls on all women to become empowered to help and guide a friend, should such a confidence be entrusted to them! The campaign aims to highlight the importance of communication between friends and focuses on how friendship between women in particular, can provide a veritable lifeline.
