Hargitay plays Detective Olivia Benson on the hit crime series Law and Order: SVU. Because of the strong subject matter and the letters she had received from survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, she started the Joyful Heart Foundation in 2004. Their mission is to heal, educate, and empower survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse and to shed light onto the darkness that surrounds these issues. Please visit www.joyfulheartfoundation.org for more information and ways that you can get involved. You can stop by their heartshop and purchase items such as bracelets and necklaces. All of the money is used towards the Joyful Heart Foundation. You can view events, read stories of survivors, join programs and get involved.
