Building a world free from violence against women and children.

Established in 2008, the Kering Foundation has made this commitment the focus of its combat, enabling women and children to lead safe lives and to thrive. The Foundation focuses on supporting survivors, preventing violence and striving for broad mobilization, across six countries: France, Italy, Korea, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Resourcing specialist organizations

Kering Foundation provides flexible fundings to specialist partners to ensure quality services for women and children victims of violence. It also supports prevention initiatives aimed at younger generations to inspire a positive change in attitudes and behaviors.

Engaging Kering and its ecosystem to create secure workplaces for women survivors

Kering Foundation offers support for colleagues experiencing directly and indirectly violence, through trainings and internal policies.

Influencing new audiences and mobilizing others

Kering Foundation mobilizes new actors to take action, raise awareness and critical additional funds to end violence across generations.

“Joining the Kering Foundation Community means being able to acquire better tools to impact many more women. It means forming alliances with other sectors, people and organizations around the world and thus to learn, create and strengthen hand-in-hand with those people who are also contributing to driving change.”
Rosalía Trujano Ortega, Founder of Las Panas
“What we have achieved over the past decade and the evolution of the general context constitute an encouragement to carry on this fight with resolve, as there are still far too many victims.”
François-Henri Pinault, Chairman and CEO of Kering,
Chairman of the Kering Foundation
“The Kering Foundation has been a critical partner, as the first private funder to support our vision, contributing to the initial construction and enabling us to gain support from public authorities.”
Ghada Hatem, Founder of La Maison des femmes de Saint-Denis
