Tell A GAL P.A.L. Fight Domestic Violence!

Mira's Tahari Power Suit....Fashion For A Cause
As part of October’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month, The Allstate Foundation and actress Mira Sorvino are encouraging people to Tell a Gal P.A.L.® about domestic violence and donate women’s suits to benefit survivors.
Domestic Violence: The Facts
1.Each day in the U.S., three women die as result of domestic violence.
2.More than one in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.
3.More than three out of four Americans know someone who is or has been a victim of domestic violence.

Domestic violence impacts the lives of women and their families. The Allstate Foundation supports survivors through resources targeted to build financial independence and educates the public on how hard it is for people to leave an abusive relationship without economic resources.

Mira is leading a national women’s suit donation drive that will benefit domestic violence survivors who are reentering the workforce. Mira’s has donated a Tahari “power suit”.
