Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

[Patti Giggans <>]

The promotion of devices, mace, self-defense keychains, anti-rape perfumes,
etc- and there have been many products marketed as the answer for
self-protection- over the years. They are not and never have been or ever
will be a substitute for women¹s self-defense & empowerment training like
the program adopted in California by the California Coalition Against Sexual
Assault (CALCASA).  Read these advertisements with critical eyes but please
don¹t use these marketed products as a reason to  nix women¹s self defense
training as an important eye-opening, life changing experience for women and
girls.
Best,
Patti Giggans

Subject: [Prevent-Connect] Pepperface & Prevention?

 
 
 

Hey everyone,

I don¹t know if you¹ve heard of this organization before, but Pepperface.com
suggests that finally women can be both stylish AND responsible for violence
inflicted upon them (sarcasm intended). But perhaps they say it best when
they say, ³At Pepperface.com innovation and style converge with social
responsibility ­ reinventing the vital topic of personal safety. Now being
fashionable can save your life ­ seriously.² This was sent to sorority
officers at our university, and I believe the rest of you might be
interested in knowing about how Pepperface is framing sexual violence. As we
have spoken about on these lists before, self-defense can be an important
and empowering skill, but not when it is promoted as the ultimate solution
for ending sexual violence.

Peace,

Ross

Ladies,

    I am contacting each of you as the month of April quickly approaches.
Each of your names has been given to because of your philanthropic work on
behalf of women's issues such as sexual assault.   Sexual assault is one of
the most under reported crimes, yet almost every minute, a woman in the U.S.
is sexually assaulted.  I am sure that each of you is probably already aware
of the staggering statistics, particularly on college campuses.

    I work for a company in Chicago called Pepperface.  Pepperface has
designed and is marketing a revolutionary new self defense unit for women.
The Pepperface Palm Defender unit is sleek, stylish and easy to use if
necessary.  Most women have absolutely no idea that there is device on the
market that is affordable, attractive and very effective.   Pepperface has
partnered with the National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence.  With
the NCDSV we have launched the Prevention Purple campaign.  The Pepperface
Palm Defender is the designated awareness symbol for this campaign.  A
portion of the proceeds from each prevention purple unit sold goes directly
to the NCDSV.  

    I would appreciate each of you considering allowing me the opportunity
to come and speak to your sorority.   This is such an important issue and
Pepperface has the perfect product to allow women to become proactive in
their own personal safety.  I would also like to know if any of your
organizations have any special projects scheduled for the month of April
that I can assist you with.  A big part of this problem can be addressed
with education and awareness that will lead to prevention.

    Please contact me at any time.  It would be a great idea for you each to
take a few minutes to visit our website ( www.pepperface.com
<http://www.pepperface.com/>   code B1) to familiarize yourself with our
product and what we are trying to accomplish.   I am attaching a couple of
pictures of what our product looks like.  I hope to be hearing from each of
you very soon.   Thank you for your time and consideration.   Be Safe!

Betzi Meyer
