On November 25, 2013, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the Avon Foundation for Women launched #SeeTheSigns of Domestic Violence. #SeeTheSigns is a social media campaign to educate people daily about the signs of domestic violence during the 16 Days of Activism, a global human rights-based movement against gender violence. The campaign highlights many of the lesser-known signs of domestic abuse.
