#Beautiful People
Campaign
Welcome to our Visions of Women Beautiful People campaign page. If you are on this page you are interested in being apart of the #BEAUTIFULPEOPLE campaign.
Visions of Women is a women’s support group raising awareness towards domestic violence by educating, supporting, and leading to healthy relationships. We have zero tolerance when it comes to abuse and we are doing what we can to make people aware of how violence is affecting people with mental health issues, depression, homelessness and so many more issues.
This campaign is standing for people who have been victims of violence or sexual assault. We are wanting people who are comfortable with telling their story to join the conversation during this campaign. There is so much stigma put on victims. And those stigmas lead people to think that it is the victim fault that they were raped or abused. But with this campaign we will recognize those false stigmas by recognizing statistics that have been recorded on the issues of violence and sharing them with others on our social media and during our Beautiful People Campaign Summit.
This campaign will encourage people to get involved with raising awareness for domestic violence awareness month in October. By taking your Beautiful People picture you are standing for all people who have been affected by violence. No matter how much they have been broken down they will always be beautiful male or female and Visions of Women will support them.
We are asking you to be a part of this campaign because:
​
-
You may know someone who was a victim of violence or sexual assault.
-
You may want to learn more about the statistics on domestic violence and sexual assault.
-
And/or you would like to be involved and support the campaign.
​
Our Beautiful People campaign will speak volumes to those who cannot speak on the issues of violence or their experiences because of a stigma or they are embarrassed to talk about it.

Domestic violence is most common among women between the ages of 18 to 24. There was a friend that I knew that went through domestic violence and I did not like it. I would ask "Why are you taking this, you should leave". But never tell a victim to leave their relationship because you do not know how they feel. Instead help them and give them tools they can use to leave when they are ready.
No matter how much abuse you have been through remember that you will always be beautiful.
If you ever need help do not hesitate to call the National hotline for domestic violence.

Domestic violence is wrong. It does not matter the gender, race, socioeconomic status, or religion. We are all beautiful people and deserve respect.
People suffer from domestic violence every day and The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence recorded that 20 people are abused every minute. Victims of abuse who are scared to leave hesitate to leave because their abuser controls and leaves them bruised on the inside mentally. It takes 7 times for a victim to leave their abuser for good.
As the abuser continues to down talk the victim the victim can feel vulnerable. The pain of being put down can cause mental health issues. Things like depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia can accumulate. No one deserves to go through domestic violence.
