Vanede's mission is to increase collaboration across disciplines to more effectively respond to sexual assault and domestic violence. We believe that violence against women is everyone's issue, and that effective intervention models should not limit advocacy to crisis centers. Instead, help for sexual assault and domestic violence should exist everywhere that women are.

History

THE FACTS: One in six women will experience sexual violence in their lifetime. That's a sixth of the beauty industry's target market, and about a sixth of the visitors frequenting beauty retailers, spas, and salons, which suggests that every day, beauty professionals are engaging with survivors. The sheer volume of consumers alone that frequent makeup retailers, hair salons, and spas can increase survivor's access to, and awareness of crisis intervention.
