Accessing the site will also offer the opportunity to obtain a DISCOUNT COUPON and a FREE SAMPLE via the Internet. The site can be reached at http://www.yellowpages.ca/bodyshop/index.htm. Since 1993, The Body Shop Canada has worked to help STOP Violence Against Women in communities from coast-to-coast. Thanks for the support of Canadians, the company has raised more than $250,000 for violence prevention and recovery programs. Donations have supported violence prevention programs sponsored by the YWCA of Canada and The Canadian Women's Foundation, and have enabled 88 survivors of violence to experience the power of Outward Bound's Women of Courage program. The Body Shop Canada's STOP Violence Against Women campaign has been awarded the United Nations Grand Award for effectively addressing an issue of vital concern to the UN. The Body Shop's powerful 1996 campaign -- EXPECT RESPECT! STOP Violence Against Women -- is taking place from now until March 24, 1996 at all 115 The Body Shops across Canada -- and continuing online after that. The EXPECT RESPECT campaign is raising awareness of the prevalence of violence against young women and the need to develop solutions, and is also raising crucial funds to support violence prevention programs in Canada. During the campaign, The Body Shop is offering FREE youth-oriented broadsheets detailing facts about healthy relationships, providing information on how to get or give help, and showing examples of positive action to STOP Violence Against Women. An informative pamphlet, geared to adults, explains the startling realities facing today's youth and offers suggestions on how they can help. Visit The Body Shop nearest you to pick up campaign material and find out how you can Speak Out and Take Action to Stop Violence Against Women. The Internet site also introduces their NEW Vitamin E Body Lotion -- a light, floral fragranced body lotion which provides a source of vitamin E to help protect the skin and improve its condition.
