Edition Shea Lip Care Duo. By simply giving one to a friend you each get a wonderful reminder that you have a confidante whom you can trust, for whom no secret is too big or too small. (And you each enjoy moisturised lips every time it's applied!)
All proceeds from the sale of the Shea Lip Care Duo go directly to our campaign partners whose work supports those who have been affected by domestic violence***.
Why we support this cause
Domestic violence happens everywhere. At least 1 in 3 women around the world are beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. In many cases, the abuser is a member of her own family or someone known to her.
Stop Violence in the Home is a global campaign created by The Body Shop 10 years ago to inspire customers and employees to get active against domestic violence. Our campaign aims to raise awareness of the issue and generate funds to help those affected
Where it all began
In 1994, The Body Shop launched a ground-breaking campaign in Canada. In that first year of campaigning The Body Shop raised $155,000 for violence prevention and recovery programmes and received the Grand Award from the United Nations for addressing this important issue. Soon to follow in Canada's footsteps were The Body Shop in Malaysia, the Philippines and the United States. These pioneers inspired the launch of the global Stop Violence in the Home campaign in 2003.
A truly Global Campaign
By 2006 the campaign had reached 47 markets across the world. In 2008, Stop Violence in the Home will run in 56 markets. Since the first campaign was launched, more than $2.6 million has been raised. These funds are vital in the fight to stop domestic violence, but fund raising is only half the story of what our campaign has achieved. Bold, innovative, groundbreaking, even law changing, the achievements of employees and customers in raising awareness and changing attitudes has been truly remarkable.
Together we can make a difference. Thank you for your support.
