Honoring Survivors with Peace Over Violence

Our mission is rooted in supporting communities and creating meaningful impact year-round. This April, and every day, we’re proud to stand alongside our Giving Partner Peace Over Violence in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This month is a time to listen, learn, support survivors, and take action toward a future free from violence.

Our Partnership with Peace Over Violence

Since 2023, we’ve partnered with Peace Over Violence (POV), a leading nonprofit dedicated to building healthy relationships, families, and communities free from sexual, domestic, and interpersonal violence. Together, we’ve donated over $300,000 in Thrive Causemetics and Bigger Than Beauty Skincare products to support their programs, helping survivors and feel supported and empowered.

Our partnership has come to life through impactful, community-driven experiences, including:

Makeup Masterclasses, where beauty becomes a tool for awareness and self-expression

Denim Day Rallies, standing in solidarity and advocating for survivors

Self-Defense Classes, equipping our community with tools for safety and empowerment

Each of these moments has been rooted in a shared belief that healing, education, and community can drive real change.

The Work of Peace Over Violence

For over 50 years, Peace Over Violence has been at the forefront of a movement to end violence. Their programs span crisis intervention, prevention, education, and advocacy, offering free services like counseling, legal support, emergency response, and trauma-informed care to survivors. They are working to create a cultural shift by challenging harmful norms, uplifting survivors, and creating safer, more equitable communities.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a time to bring visibility to an issue that impacts millions, while uplifting survivors and advocating for change.

It’s a moment to:

Support survivors and honor their experiences

Increase awareness and education around sexual violence

Challenge harmful narratives and victim-blaming

Commit to building safer communities for all

Denim Day: A Global Movement for Change

On April 29, 2026, we’ll join millions around the world in recognizing Denim Day. Denim Day began as a protest against victim-blaming after a court ruling dismissed a rape case based on what the survivor was wearing. What started as a single act of solidarity has grown into a global movement that challenges harmful myths and stands firmly with survivors. By wearing denim, we send a clear message: there is never an excuse for sexual violence.

How You Can Take Action

Ending violence requires all of us. This Denim Day, we invite you to:

Wear denim on April 29th as a visible sign of solidarity

Start conversations that challenge harmful myths

Support organizations like Peace Over Violence by following their work, volunteering your time, or donating

Educate yourself and others on prevention and survivor support

Together, we can help create a world where everyone feels safe, supported, and free. We are deeply grateful to Peace Over Violence for their incredible partnership and their leadership in supporting and advocating for survivors.
