Amber Heard Releases Emotional Video On Domestic Violence

'SPEAK UP' Amber Heard Speaks Out in Domestic Abuse PSA #girlgaze

In the video, the 30-year-old actress urges women to come forward and break the cycle of abuse, and the stigma of being a “victim”.

"Speak up, speak up. Raise your voice, your voice is the most powerful thing and we, together, as women standing shoulder to shoulder cannot and will not any longer accept silence."

As part of our ongoing commitment to... - GirlGaze Project | Facebook

Amber split from husband Johnny Depp in May after only 15 months of marriage, accusing him of being violent towards her.

She publicly donated the $7 million from her divorce settlement to a domestic violence charity.
