Rihanna is hoping to raise awareness about domestic violence by discussing how she handled dealing with the incident which saw Brown receive five years probation, community labor and one year of domestic-violence counseling.

"Rihanna Speaks Out ties directly into our dedication to women's advocacy - it is at the heart of our network. Her courage provides hope and inspiration for the nearly one in four women in the United States who fall victim to domestic violence."
