OlderReese Witherspoon Promotes Women’s Empowerment Bracelet
Oscar-winning actress and Avon Global Ambassador Reese Witherspoon unveils Avon’s first global fundraising product, the Women’s Empowerment Bracelet at the UN headquarters in NYC on Tuesday.
The bracelet, which is a United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) partnership with Avon, will sell for $3 each and all net profits will be donated to the Avon Empowerment Fund. These resources will bolster critical work to prevent and reduce the prevalence of violence against women.
“One out of every three women in the world is affected by domestic violence,” Reese said at the press conference. “I am proud to be a part of this summit and I support Avon and UNIFEM wholeheartedly in their efforts to put an end to this global epidemic.”

first!!
I love her!
She’s such a great person and actress!
she’s so great!
great role model and actress and person.
I would like to purchase one, but it doesnt send to the netherlands
I am not saying at all that this is a bad thing, or that celebs shouldn’t use their names to good cause, but everybody’s pimping out for orgs; i guess angelina started it all.
Reese rules!
FORGET ANGIE! GO REESE!
love her.
Now that Drew Barrymore gave 1 million for a charity institution whos ehelp children in Kenia…Reese Witherspoon would like imitate her. Reese Witherspoon is authority to imitate or use the same dress of Kirten Dunst in Golden Globe and the same men too.
UNO isn’t more a institution that we can believe. For 2 or 3 years ago it was necessery that the police of Somalia thow out the UN soldier because they abused of woman over there. They bought the woman and they payed for prostitution service food to them. It was a absurd!
Come on! Reese Witherspoon can give more money that Drew Barrymore because you win more money of her in by Hollywood films. It would be better that to meet a boytoy and clean the garbage of neighbour . Do something in your life! <Be useful!

She is doing a good thing and you need to put a cork in it. So long as there are still people going hungry, not being educated and being hurt there is a need for help. It will take more than a few hollywood actresses to turn things in this world around, but doing something on a public forum sure as Avon, will not only raise awareness about issues but it will also raise money for them. Reese signed on as the first Avon Ambassador over 6 months ago. She has been lending her voice to the Breast Cancer Walk Ads for months and this UN day and project was in the works long before Drew Barrymore turned up on Oprah. Either way, they are both doing something great and possitive.
Simply cute!!!!
Reese is just another money hungry PR *****!
I used to like her for a split second, but then I realized what a fake and a phony she is.
When did she become and ambassador?
I ordered 6, great gift idea and great idea in general. In the age of rubber bracelets with words, why not? Whatever helps this crazy world we’re in, I’m there.
Reese Witherspoon has been named the first Global Ambassador for Avon Cosmetics. She will be the spokesperson for Avon as well as work with the Avon Foundation.
The Avon Foundation is a public charity that focuses on breast cancer, domestic violence and emergency relief initiatives. Starting in 1955, the Avon Foundation has grown from a $400 scholarship to $500 million raised in 2006. The purchase of some designated products go to benefit this charity.

The actress whose began to do charity was Audrey Hepburn. She abandon the career of actress later only to dedicate for UNICEF. (You can read in wikipedia)
Nobody in the past gave attention for the people in Africa for example. She was in Somália and expose the hunger and how the people soffer over there. She was real aristocrat and spoke lot of languages: frensh, italian, English, holandish and spanish too that is why she travel all over the world to help the people because she could comunicate with them. After that it was lot of actresses and actors worked by UN. Peter Ustinov whose spoke lot of languages too…Liv Ulmann etc…
Angelina isn’t the first. She is one of the last of this line.!
Avon imitate the same thing taht Lance Armstrong did with bracelet called “Life Strong” too!

Nowadays with bad films of Hollywood we loose our time a lot. Pehaps would be better to watch old films of Hollywood and discover that in the past there was better artist then at present. Peter Ustinov , Audrey Hepborn and Liv Ulmann are very good actors.

how educational, with all three replies.
She’s seems so fake and annoying.
actually reese was part of organizations before Angie.
It’s good to see celebrities use their celebrity for good things. Reese is a true inspiration and a great role model.
Ugly bracelet - just as expected from a redneck woman!
LOL!
Reese is doing this for her own promotion and profit.
Look at Reese’s smirking rat face!
TRULY DISGUSTING!
phony. Oh please! How about MIss “Save the Whales”
now that is someone doing it for their own promotion.
The fact that people think she is doing it for promotion, that’s sad. She doesn’t need that to promote herself, she does that with her talent alone. She is using her celebrity for good things, which is amazing. Considering how most of hollywood acts today, I think this is great.
