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.

“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.”
