advocate

Morrison is a dedicated relationship abuse and domestic violence awareness advocate, working on this issue for more than 15 years. She came across the statistic that 1 in 3 women will be in an abusive relationship in her lifetime when she was Executive Editor at Marie Claire. She has since launched and published numerous campaigns at both Marie Claire and Redbook, working closely with Liz Claiborne, Inc., and also working with many survivors.

Redbook’s feature “You Can Save A Woman’s Life Just By Asking Her How She’s Doing,” was nominated for a National Magazine Award in 2006, and Morrison has received numerous awards and honors for her work in this field, including the Safe Horizon Champion Award (2008) and the National Domestic Violence Hotline Vital Link Award (2007).

She recently became a founding board member of the non-profit Violence UnSilenced, a groundbreaking safe online community where abuse survivors can share their stories, either anonymously or publicly, and she continues to write on the subject.
