Beauty and lifestyle brand launches campaign for domestic violence awareness
Monday, November 25 marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, highlighting the enormity of Australia’s domestic violence problem.
Did you know domestic violence effects a startling 1 in 6 Australian women and 1 in 16 Australian men? To help expose this problem, international lifestyle brand Jeunesse Australasia, and its charitable arm, Jeunesse Kids, is bringing attention to the hidden struggles of children affected through a national purpose campaign.
In partnership with not-for-profit charity Friends with Dignity, the initiative is set to launch through the grand reveal of a raw, emotionally moving interactive mural and animation film titled, ‘Sarah’s Story’ on York Street in Sydney’s CBD on November 20, marking the United Nations Universal Children’s Day.
Jeunesse Australasia hopes to raise awareness around these sobering statistics through ‘Sarah’s Story’ - a story based on the real-life events of a 6-year-old child affected by exposure to domestic violence in the home, and her remarkable recovery through the charity’s scholarship program called Little Friends.
Friends with Dignity and Jeunesse Kids are both tackling this challenge in a different way, by providing bursaries to children who have been exposed to violence, giving them hope to continue growing and evolving in their lives. Already, over 186 scholarships have been distributed as part of the Little Kids Scholarship Fund.
To show your support, please donate to the Little Friends Scholarship Program supported by Jeunesse Kids, here.
