Keira gets Knightley for Women's Aid

Keira Knightley has taken a beating to raise awareness of domestic abuse. Lending her celebrity to this graphic advert for Women's Aid will hopefully do much to communicate the devastating danger across many generations.

Keira's statement on the ad: "I wanted to take part in this advert for Women's Aid because while domestic violence exists in every section of society, we rarely hear about it. We may not think we know someone who has experienced domestic violence, but this does not mean that it is not happening. Domestic violence affects one in four women at some point in their lifetime and kills two women every week. Without the services provided by Women's Aid, many more women could be at risk of being killed, yet without donations the charity may not exist this time next year. Please donate £2 a month to Women's Aid to help save lives."




We all know that domestic abuse hit in the spotlight in February when Rihanna suffered a brutal and very public bashing by her boyfriend Chris Brown. And when Oprah weighs in on the subject, you at least know the world is listening.

So congrats to the knightly Keira for joining in on this confronting campaign.
