As a mark brand ambassador, i became extremely cognizant of the devastating statistics about dating abuse and partner violence via the mpowerment campaign and knew i wanted to help change those statistics. mpowerment by mark and the avon foundation for women funded the no more study, which explored dating abuse, partner violence, and sexual assault. i was honored to be part of it and report the results of the survey in a capitol hill briefing.

Domestic violence causes far more pain than the visible marks of bruises and scars. it is devastating to be abused by someone that you love and think loves you in return. it is estimated that approximately 3 million incidents of domestic violence are reported each year in the united states.

We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. in order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life.

People who read me seem to be divided into four groups: twenty-five percent like me for the right reasons; twenty-five percent like me for the wrong reasons; twenty-five percent hate me for the wrong reasons; twenty-five percent hate me for the right reasons. it's that last twenty-five percent that worries me.

Economists often talk about the 80/20 principle, which is the idea that in any situation roughly 80 percent of the “work” will be done by 20 percent of the participants. in most societies, 20 percent of criminals commit 80 percent of crimes. twenty percent of motorists cause 80 percent of all accidents. twenty percent of beer drinkers drink 80 percent of all beer. when it comes to epidemics, though, this disproportionality becomes even more extreme: a tiny percentage of people do the majority of the work.

I must remind you that starving a child is violence. suppressing a culture is violence. neglecting school children is violence. punishing a mother and her family is violence. discrimination against a working man is violence. ghetto housing is violence. ignoring medical need is violence. contempt for poverty is violence.
