‘i FASHION
Retailer Campaigns to stop violence

Layne Christensen

AS tixe Body Shop gears
up for its fifth cam

to help stop violence
against women, the
focus is on the children.

The international retailer of
bath and body-care products
launches its public awareness
campaign March 5, with spe-
qal events and promotional
items in stores across Canada
through March 18.

‘This year’s campaign takes
its inspiration from the words
of Dorothy Law Nolte, whose
poem, Children Learn Whar

Violence: the facts

THE Body Shop has compiled the
following facts on violence in

Canada:

@ 51% of women over 16 in Canada have
experienced at least one incident of violence
as defined by the Criminal Code.

B@ Onc in 10 high-school students has experi-

They Live, teaches that an
adult's guidance makes a criti-
cal difference in a child’s devel-
opment.

The idea is that helping
children build a healthy sense
of self-esteem can help break
the cycle of violence.

“There is no question that
abuse can be a learned behav-
jor,” says Beverley Wybrow,
executive director of the
Canadian Women’s
Foundation (CWF), 2 partner
in the Body Shop program.

Studies show that between
the ages of cight and 13, girls’
feelings of confidence decline
dramatically. “Fostering strong
self-esteem during this time is
crucial in facing the messages

and demands of the teen
years.” says Wybrow.

The Body Shop campaign
targets role models — parents,
teachers, older siblings, elders
-—- by providing customers
with free information on the
effects of violence on teens and
children.

Partial proceeds from the
sale of postcards (25 cents)
bearing Nolte’s pocm and key
chains ($7.95) with the cam-
paign’s daisy motif or a child’s
building blocks that spell “Live
Love™ will benefit CWF,
Proceeds will also benefit
Women of Courage, an
Qurward Bound program for
women survivors of violence.

Next weekend, Marck 7-8,

enced some form of violence in a dating rela-
tionship. The average age of the first physical-
ly violent dating experience is 15.

& Scrious behavior problems are 17 times
higher for boys and 10 times higher for girls
who have witnessed battcring.

@ Twenty five per cent of children who had
resided in a shelter for battered women felt

that it was appropriate for a man to strike a
woman if the house was messy. After group
counselling, none of the children supported 2
man hitting a woman.
