DALLAS, Oct. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Awareness isn’t enough to stop abuse. Today Mary Kay released the results of its sixth annual Truth About Abuse survey revealing that Americans’ awareness of domestic violence is on the rise. The survey also reveals Americans believe increased education on healthy relationships can make a difference and millennials show confidence that the U.S. can end domestic abuse for the next generation.

“This year’s Truth About Abuse survey showcases meaningful progress and highlights real opportunities to combat violence against women. Today, 1 in 2 male millennials believe domestic abuse can be eliminated in America. That is a powerful and very hopeful statistic,” said Crayton Webb, Vice President of Corporate Communications and Corporate Social Responsibility for Mary Kay Inc. “With increased awareness and earlier education, we can help prevent abuse and ultimately end domestic violence by teaching kids about healthy relationships from an early age.”

Highlights from the survey include:

It’s personal: 65% of those surveyed have experienced domestic abuse, experiencing it themselves or through someone they know
Awareness is on the rise: 53% of those surveyed say their understanding of domestic violence has improved in the past five years
Equipped to help: 71% feel confident that they would know what to do if someone they know is in an abusive relationship
From awareness to action: 1 in 2 say they would intervene if someone they knew was in a verbally or physically abusive relationship

“It is heartening to see that Americans are becoming more aware and invested in the issue of domestic violence,” said Brian Pinero, Chief Programs Officer at The National Domestic Violence Hotline and loveisrespect. “However, many are still struggling to recognize the signs of abuse and more education is needed to ensure that adults and teens are building healthy relationships.”

In partnership with loveisrespect, the 2015 Mary Kay Truth About Abuse Survey aims to explore how Americans’ understanding of domestic violence is changing, and gauge attitudes with respect to this evolving issue. One thousand men and women nationwide participated in the online survey Sept. 3-11, 2015, sharing their insights and stories on the issue of domestic violence.

The 2015 survey is part of Mary Kay’s “Don’t Look Away” campaign which works to educate the public on recognizing the signs of an abusive relationship, how to take action and to raise awareness for support services. To date, Mary Kay Inc. and The Mary Kay Foundation^SM have given $50 million to domestic violence prevention and awareness programs in an effort to end the cycle of abuse. Mary Kay is also the lead sponsor of the nation’s first-ever text-based helpline operated by loveisrespect. By simply texting ‘loveis’ to 22522, teens and young adults are safely and discretely connected to trained peer advocates who provide support, safety tips and referrals for their own relationships or a friend’s.

The network’s coverage has expanded from 50% of the Hispanic market, with 150 stations in 2010, to 95% coverage of the Hispanic market with over 300 stations. While the company’s distribution growth has been exceptional, the growth and success of its content lineup has been equally remarkable:

Erazno y La Chokolata – Entravision entered into an agreement to syndicate its marquee “El Show de Erazno y La Chokolata” in 2010. The show, featuring the multi-talented Oswaldo Diaz, has expanded Entravision’s top-rated program’s reach to 78 affiliate stations covering markets reaching 84% of Hispanics, including 9 of the top 10 Hispanic markets.
Eddie “Piolin” Sotelo – Piolin returned home to Entravision this past January with a brand new morning show, “El Show de Piolin.”
“Carlos Alvarez a Medio Dia” – Hosted by one of Super Estrella’s most recognized radio personalities, the lifestyle entertainment program focuses on daily living and issues that appeal to U.S. Latino audiences coast to coast.
“Armida y La Flaka” – The program is one of the most recent additions to the Entravision audio lineup and has quickly become a household name, extending their content beyond on-air through digital and mobile, and providing a distinctly modern Latina perspective.
“El Show de Alex ‘El Genio’ Lucas” – Hosted by Alex Lucas, Entravision’s top-rated morning show provides audiences with positive, motivational messages. El Genio can be heard in 75% of Hispanic households, and the company has extended its partnership for an additional four years.

Entravision also announced three new television shows via its exclusive LATV partnership: The LMShow; Las Super 20; and Road to Reventon. The first two programs are video extensions of Entravision’s Audio Network. The LMShow will be hosted by Hyacinth Iztel and LATV’s entertainment insider, Dennis Pastorizo. Las Super 20 will serve as a music video countdown featuring two leading music genres: Latin Pop and Regional Mexican. The format will include interviews, videos and commentary, and will be hosted by Vanessa Palomino and Emmy Award winner Carlos Alvarez. The Road to Reventon is an extension of Entravision’s premier musical event, Reventon, and will be an inside look at what it takes to rise from an unknown artist to the headlining band at one of the biggest Latin music festivals in the country, Reventon Super Estrella. Entravision’s partnership with LATV is a uniquely powerful and flexible combination of media that offers advertisers an incredible opportunity to hyper-target consumers across a variety of diverse media channels. LATV covers markets reaching 89% of Hispanic Households representing roughly 12 million Hispanics.

Additional highlights from Entravision’s One Five Twenty Upfront presentation included:

Entravision recently signed a three-year agreement with the National Football League. As part of the agreement, Entravision will air all Sunday Night Football games, Thanksgiving Day games, AFC playoff games and Super Bowl LI.
Through the company’s partnership with the Children’s Miracle Networks (CMN), Entravision’s talented on-air staff and the increased reach of its online and mobile platforms raised approximately $2.9 million for 95 member hospitals during the eighth annual 2015 Radiothon. To date, the company has helped CMN raise over $10 million.
Health and Civic Engagement are always top priorities at Entravision. Earlier this year, the company hosted a town hall meeting “Alivio Migratorio en Crisis” (Immigration Relief in Crisis), to address the implications of presidential executive actions on U.S. immigration.
WideOrbit and Entravision will be running a nationwide pilot study to develop a customized, audio-programmatic solution for the national radio industry, positioning Entravision at the very forefront of programmatic radio buying.

Texas ranked second in U.S. for relocation activity and out-of-state migration in 2014

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Texas ranked second in the nation for relocation activity in 2014, according to the 2015 Texas Relocation Report released today by the Texas Association of Realtors. Based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the report shows that Texas continues to be a high-demand destination for residents moving from out of state.

Scott Kesner, chairman of the Texas Association of Realtors, commented: “2015 has been a great year for Texas, with healthy economic diversity driving much of our state’s population and job growth. Texas is not only a global leader in oil and gas production, but a national hub for technology, manufacturing, and several other industries. The Lone Star State continues to be a great place to live as well as start a business, and the more than half a million people who move here every year are proof of that.”

According to the report, Texas followed Florida as No. 2 in the U.S. for population gains from out-of-state residents in 2014, with 538,572 people moving to Texas from out of state. The state the most new Texans came from was California (63,591), followed by Florida (40,930), Oklahoma (25,096), Louisiana (23,805) and Illinois (23,258).

Texas once again ranked third in the nation for number of residents moving out of state (435,107), coming in behind California (593,308) and Florida (437,516) and topping New York (424,074) and Illinois (323,468). As with inbound residents, the most popular state for Texans to move to was California (38,990), followed by Florida (29,191), Oklahoma (25,175), Colorado (24,431), and Louisiana (21,516).

Overall, Texas had a net gain of out-of-state residents in 2014, with 103,465 more people moving to Texas than Texas residents moving out of state.

The 2015 Texas Relocation Report also shows 5-year migration data (2009-2013) on a county-by-county basis for counties within the top 43 designated market areas in Texas. The top 10 Texas counties with the highest net gains of residents from other Texas counties were spread all over the state, with three of the top 10 counties located in Central Texas (Williamson, Hays, and Travis). Denton County led the state for a second year in a row with a net gain of 13,267 residents coming from other Texas counties.

Harris and Dallas counties remain the top two most mobile counties in the Lone Star State, ranking No. 1 and No. 2 in Texas, respectively, for both the largest inflow and the largest outflow of people. Both of these counties once again posted the highest net losses of residents moving out of county, with Dallas County posting the highest net loss of people (27,155) followed by Harris County (18,297).

Kesner concluded, “Texas’s unprecedented growth can only continue if our state has the infrastructure and high quality of life to support it. The Texas Association of Realtors encourages voters to vote for Proposition 1 on Nov. 3 to keep Texas an affordable place to own a home by providing property tax relief and permanently banning a real estate transfer tax, and vote for Proposition 7, which will provide up to $2 billion in much-needed transportation funding for our growing state.”
