CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Novelty manufacturer Topco Sales is supporting the Until the Violence Stops-LA Festival (UTVSLA) with product donations from their grrl toyz and Penthouse Toy lines that will be featured in their celebrity gift bags.
"Topco is honored to support this noble organization. I hope it raises awareness about atrocities against women and girls...and I really hope that others in the adult novelty industry will take notice and attend some of the intriguing events on their program," said Desiree Duffie, director of marketing and public relations for Topco Sales.
Duffie said that now through August 9, there are several enlightening performances from acclaimed actresses, actors and area activists including "A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant & A Prayer," in which writers and activists will share their perspectives on the theme of violence against women and "Man's Event," where men will honor the women in their lives with art and the written word.
There will also be dozens of local communities that will create avenues for awareness, building and education on issues of violence against women during the inaugural event.
