Reese 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.”

Plus her chin annoys me, you could serve tea on it.

No she stirs her coffee with it.

Sal

I spoke about my family to show you how your are wrong in your judgment and observations about me. You asked me if I have ever been in America and I explain you that my family for lot of generations have contact or lived in America. I would like to show you what kind of society I live and came from. Perhaps I am one of these 14 million of people whose didn’t go to the cinema last year in Germany!

The people saw ” Walk the line” because the film received the Oscar prize without prestige and they discovered that It was a garbage! . Reese Witherspoon traumatized the people and this is the cause nobody would like see their film again to have the same frustation.

Ok. Your father conviced your friend to end of relationship and move her life. Where are she going? She had enough money to build her new life? Sal! Do you have any idea how the woman of our world are living?
It is normal that they don’t visity any kind of school nor have money or job. If in Germany the situation for the a divorce women or single mother is difficult in other countries is worse…All these women practice prostitution because they don’t have money! Wake up!

Sex is a routine I don’t like watch routine. Hollywood studios film are trying to take the customers sexual maniacs of pornographic film industry. Pornography use sexual illness to attract these kind of people. Lot of maniac sexual man have fantasy with ill things. We can observe that all criminal whose abuse of somebody would be arrested by police with their house with lot of pornography magazines and sites of computer. There are lot of man whose say their wife or lover to make the same ill things. There are man whose don’t do sex more with their women because they masturbate front of computer.
A children whose the mother let them alone at home to work or another motive …when they watch pornography they learn wrong things about sex. Pornography isn’t sex. Pornography came from slave business and it is a cheap form to by a person. Pornography isn’t reality and will never be!
The sex life of a people must be secret and when they have some problems they must look for a competent doctor…
The Hollywood studios are trying to introduce the pornography in small part in of their films.
It was the motive of a criminal serie of television in USA became a fine because a actress showed her butt. The people notice the unfair play of Hollywood studios!

The reality that when men kiss another men is that the homosexuals are responsable of transmimission of AIDS at present !

I will repeat. I don’t give my money for Charity Organizations Mafia!

V
oh gee thank you…thank you for allowing me to have my opinion. I don’t need your damn permission, I can say what the hell I want. I can garuntee that I do far more for society than you ever will, so don’t tell me about the homeless. If you’re so concerned then get off your backside and go do something positive, instead of bashing others and telling me about giving money.

Also, stop thinking you speak for all of Europe. I’m European and I LOVED Walk the Line and so did many of my European friends. Moreover, you seem to be obsessed with sex. So what if people enjoy sex?! What the hell has it got to do with you? If you don’t like Hollywood/sex/Witherspoon etc, then ignore it. How hard is it to not click the link or watch the movie!? And frankly, its much easier to find real porn in Europe than in the USA. Do you ever leave the house? Visit a newspaper stand? There are porn magazines everywhere, so crap to your Hollywood is porn theory.

Although, the fact you like Tom Cruise and find his behaviour acceptable speaks volumes about yourself. Honestly, everything you find negative in Miss. Witherspoon, Cruise has got down to a fine art.

It would be far more practical and useful for Avon to give these abused women a free pair of steel toe cap boots to kick the bollocks off their abusing spouses or guys who abuse them…dont see the benifet of a bracelet.
reese could try a pair on her sexually depraved brother.
But seriously at least she is trying to help an issue that makes womens life a misery around the globe. I have also heard reports about UN police and officials using local women as prostitutues. Hypocrisy is everywhere.

georgette @ 03/05/2008 at 7:09 am

I’d vote for her as president!!

don’t vote grand pa’ Mac Cain he’s so old!! he’s about to have a heart attack!!

Brrrrrrr
Reese Witherspoon is worthless midget without character with an “misterious”Oscar prize and with a misterious salary of 20 million dolar for failure films whose nobody would like to see more.

UN is a doll of american government whose the prestige get worse every year. For 2 or 3 years the government of Somalia throw UN soldiers out because they abused the woman and using local women as prostitutes …and paid their services with “food”. Look at this absurd. To paid the women with “food”! Imagine the misery of these woman!
I wouldn’t know what happened in Irak. For the american soldiers Irak isn’t the sex turism like Vietna…
I have asked what kind of benifet and what kind of project AVON has been doing. Nobody can’t answer me!

Lemon
In Europe you receive what you look for. I don’t have any kind of interest about pornography and I don’t know any person whose had interest to see “Walk the line”. It was 14 million of germans whose stop to go to the cinema last year.
Tom Cruise is another actor of Hollywood without character. The german historian Guido Knopp say that he imitate the propaganda minister of Hitler, Goebbels.

Sal
V is one of those crazies who hates Reese because she is dating Jake Gyllenhaal. She won’t cop to that but that’s her problem.
V, put a sock in it and use grammar checker.

@ V:

Shut up and get out of this site. If you hate Hollywood and Reese Witherspoon so much then why the **** do you keep coming back? HYPOCRITE!
Oh and in case you haven’t read what Sal wrote, he asked how YOU have helped other not your family! Reading comprehension, dear. Learn it. No one gives 2 cents as to what your family accomplished because quite frankly, they’re not the ones on here criticizing others, YOU ARE. So again, wtf have you done better than Reese Witherspoon other than accuse Hollywood of pornography.
Oh and about your AIDS and homosexual comment– you are ignorant. To say that they are solely responsible for the AIDS problem we are facing in the world is quite ignorant and narrow minded. Get out of the hole you’re hiding in and pay close attention to the world around you.
Another thing, STOP speaking for all the Europeans out there– or the “14 million” you have felt the need to bring in into your foolishness. I am a European and obviously my family is too and so are some of my friends. We loved Walk The Line.
With that said, V, shut up!

V simply hates Hollywood, period. He thinks it is all corrupt and decadent and worse. In fact it is just a bunch of largely superficial people trying to make a living. Money comes easily too often and goes to the head and so many lose their bearings. But most of them are just people like you and me, prettier and better looking usually, and often more emotionally disturbed, but beyond that not much. It is good to make fun of. I wouldn’t get as worked up about it as V does.

I am protest only about the immoral things at television. I have the opinion that there are special places for every kind of person and tastes. The homosexual must to be with the people with the same sexual preferences. The prostitutes must have their place on street and their own hotels and restaurants. A scientist must to meat scientists. Teachers mus meet teachers etc… A professor etc…We will meet all kind of people where we are working.
The cinema must be like this. Pornogarphyc films must have their special channel and in videothek a special place where the young people don’t allow to go.
I protest only abou this look of confusion the people are doing!
I spoke about my family because the people imagine all crazy things about me. I would like to show that I know how can we make a project and the things that the AVON and UN are making for me isn’t correct.
Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witerspoon are one of more corrupt actor and actress of Hollywood. It is because I am writing more in their blogs. There are lot of corrupt in Hollywood but both are the biggest. When the people don’t have charater and principle they are always involved in dirty things. If there isn’t dirty things at the beginning will probable happen at the end.

Wow, I can’t believe I just wasted 10 minutes of time trying, again, to decipher one of V’s posts. He or she consistently posts on the Reese Witherspoon threads and mentions prostitution (??), questioning her kids parentage (double???!?!?? - they look EXACTLY like both of their parents) and her lack of acting talent.

I don’t know what Ms. Witherspoon did to you personally, V, but it must have been horrible for you to get into a broken-English tizzy time and time again. This thread has been going on since yesterday and you are obviously really upset with her for some reason. It’s almost funny.

Please explain the pornography theory!!?!?! I am SO confused. Was Legally Blond really a skin flick and I just didn’t realize it? Or was it Man in the Moon when she was 14? I know that Walk the Line certainly wasn’t.

Ha!

Hollywood do a big mistake..to accept money of drug Mafia and prostitution Mafia. They don’t do a selection tests and their leathers would like take their sons and daughter to work there.
The result is a enormous garbage of personal, ignorant, without any kind of background. I have never see a industry with so many people with bad level like Hollywood film industry at present.
It is festival of prostitutes, people with drug adctions and stpid people with few exceptions.
The biggest mistake of Hollywood is to throw away all these human garbages in our house.

Welcome to the real world, V. Enjoy your stay here.

What exactly does this have to do with Reese Witherspoon trying to help and bring awareness to violence against women? I think you’re using the wrong forum for your rantings.

REESE IS A FAKE @ 03/09/2008 at 8:01 am

Reese’s PR is really, really busy posting about their phony client!

Give it a break - we all know that REESE’S GOOD IMAGE IS JUST PR SH#T!

I really want to buy the bracelet. But they don’t send it to the Netherlands. Too bad..
