"One in three women will be attacked with the intent of sexual assault in her lifetime," said National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence Executive Director, Debby Tucker. "We are excited to partner with Pepperface.com to create awareness for this cause.  This partnership allows us to bridge the gap from awareness towards prevention as well as generate funding to further efforts of the NCDSV.

Sexual assault is one of the most underreported crimes, yet almost every minute, a woman in the U.S. is sexually assaulted.  The “Prevention Purple” Campaign was designed to generate public awareness, with an emphasis on personal safety as a lifestyle choice.  Recognizing the obvious marriage between the device and the issue, the Pepperface.com Edition Palm Defender is the designated awareness symbol for the campaign. Women toting the designer defense spray are promoting the cause and taking the extra step to prevention by protecting themselves.  The “Prevention Purple” Celebrity Auction is being launched to utilize the influence of celebrities to further increase public attention on this vital issue. 

"Pepperface is committed to doing our part in the fight against violence," said Mladen Djanković, founder of Pepperface.com. "Understanding that this issue affects women and their families everywhere, we share the belief that there is an urgent need to support awareness and education efforts.”

“It gives us great honor to join this cause,” says Gina Smith, founder of Crystal Icing™.  “Adding personal style to safety makes sense, and we look forward to getting people excited about prevention.”

The National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence is a nonprofit organization based in Austin, Texas.  The National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence (NCDSV) designs, provides, and customizes training and consultation, influences policy, promotes collaboration and enhances diversity with the goal of ending domestic and sexual violence.  For more information, please visit www.ncdsv.org.

Pepperface is reinventing personal safety, converging innovation and style with social responsibility.  Its “Prevention Purple” Campaign makes prioritizing self-defense a fashion statement by designating the Pepperface.com Edition Palm Defender as the sleek, stylish defense spray that is both an awareness symbol for violence against women and effective prevention against assault.  The pepper spray device that is as at home on the red carpet as it is in the self-defense category, inspires social responsiveness and raises funds for the National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence.
