Domestic abuse results in the death of 2 women every week – a little-known statistic – and it shouldn’t be of interest only when a celebrity’s life is involved.

Academy Award-nominated actress Keira Knightley has teamed up with the UK-based charity WomensAid to draw more attention to this very serious issue. She’s released this violent PSA, directed by Atonement’s Joe Wright.

Be warned, this video is serious and disturbing – but then, that’s the point:

Keira released a statement along with the video, saying:

“While domestic violence exists in every section of society we rarely hear about it. Domestic violence affects one in four women at some point in their lifetime and kills two women every week.”

I think it takes a lot of bravery to be the face of such a serious issue, and I commend Keira for bring this issue to light! Click here to visit the WomensAid website and learn more about the project.
