Mary Kay is partnering with actress / singer Debby Ryan to launch the Don't Look Away Challenge, continuing its campaign that is raising awareness of dating abuse.
Ryan is asking teens to stand together with their friends and show their support for healthy relationships on social media. Hear her advice on YouTube, as shown in the photo above.
Mary Kay wants to combat this startling statistic - 1-in-3 teens experience abuse in a dating relationship. Through the Don't Look Away challenge, Ryan urges fans to build awareness and support for healthy relationships on social media by posting a picture with two friends using the hashtag #DontLookAway.
The challenge, as well as Mary Kay's 2015 Truth About Abuse survey, are part of the comapny's
"Don't Look Away" campaign, which has a mission to educate the public on recognizing the signs of an abusive relationship, how to take action and to raise awareness for support services.
To date, Mary Kay Inc. and The Mary Kay FoundationS have given $50 million to domestic violence prevention and awareness programs in an effort to end the cycle of abuse, and recently awarded $3 million in grants to domestic violence shelters in all 50 states.
Mary Kay is also the lead sponsor of the nation's first-ever text-based helpline operated by loveisrespect. By simply texting 'loveis' to 22522, teens and young adults are safely and discretely connected to trained peer advocates who provide support, safety tips and referrals for their own relationships or a friend's.
