ERADICATING THE VIOLENCE THAT AFFECTS 1 IN 3 WOMEN WORLDWIDE
Based on 15 years of experience in this combat, our strategy is to act with key feminist partners at three levels to achieve real transformative change: supporting survivor-centered services, implementing programs to break the intergenerational cycle of violence with future generations and mobilizing both our internal and external networks to take action for gender equality. We pro-actively source long-term partnerships in six countries and work hand in hand with a cross-section of local experts, from grassroots networks to specialist organizations to alternative models that can be scaled up.
SUPPORTING SURVIVORS TO LIVE FREE FROM VIOLENCE
For women to access the support they need worldwide, we partner with a cross-section of frontline, local organizations that provide vital and comprehensive needs-driven services, all while working towards rebuilding autonomy.
CHANGING BEHAVIORS AND ATTITUDES TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE
In order to break the intergenerational cycle of violence, we focus on addressing its root causes. With our partners, we challenge gender stereotypes particularly by engaging men and boys, involve the youth to change behaviors and attitudes and work on the intersection with violence against children, in particular incest.
TAKING COLLECTIVE ACTION TO STAND AGAINST VIOLENCE
Understanding the impacts of domestic violence, we work to create a safe and supportive workplace for survivors at Kering and through mobilizing other companies. We also offer our employees the opportunity to get involved by volunteering their skills to Foundation partners.
