Reese Witherspoon is taking her activism international. Just yesterday, the Oscar-winning actress hopped across the pond to London, making a trip to the historic Parliament. Reese addressed politicians, asking them to take action against domestic violence. She also held a press conference, where she spoke out to abuse victims, saying:

“I’ve seen so many people who have suffered in silence and who are embarrassed or ashamed. You’re not alone and if you reach out there’s someone … who is ready to give you support and care and love and it’s important to know that.”

DoSomething.org has teamed up with Liz Claiborne for It’s Time to Talk Day – we’re trying to get people to speak up about this issue that isn’t often discussed. To get involved, check out the Teen Dating Abuse Action Center.
