Creating a safe and supportive workplace for survivors Domestic violence is a workplace issue as it impacts the professional lives of women survivors, affecting their relationships with colleagues and their overall well-being at work. The workplace is often the only place where survivors of domestic violence can seek help, co-workers becoming their primary allies. In addition, it is essential for women to maintain their employment and financial independence. Since 2011, Kering Foundation has developed an internal program to create a safe and supportive work environment for survivors of domestic abuse. It includes: - internal trainings to explore the cycle and impact of domestic violence, deconstruct stereotypes and provide an understanding of the role a company can play in supporting survivors. These trainings are developed in partnership with national specialized organizations: 🇫🇷 Fédération Nationale Solidarité Femmes 🇮🇹 D.i.Re - Donne in Rete contro la violenza 🇬🇧 Women's Aid Organisation 🇺🇸 The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) - a 30-minute e-learning available in 7 languages for Kering employees, developed with the OneInThreeWomen network. - Kering's Global Policy on Domestic Violence, which offers all its employees who are victims of domestic violence a completely confidential package of support measures. Together, we can create a safer, more supportive professional environment for everyone. For more information 🔗https://lnkd.in/eADHhua2

Today is #InternationalYouthDay - a day to celebrate the qualities of young people and recognize the challenges they face. Since 2018, Kering Foundation has been supporting the New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault's Project DOT (Dream, Own, Tell). This innovative program aims to counter sexual violence through prevention campaigns by and for young people from disadvantaged communities, who are rarely reached by mainstream campaigns. Through education, research and advocacy, DOT empowers young people to become agents of change in their communities. At Kering Foundation, we firmly believe that ending violence requires addressing its root causes. In collaboration with our partners, we challenge gender stereotypes and actively engage younger generations, especially boys, to help shape their attitudes and behaviors. We know that educating young people can make a significant difference. Join us in celebrating #InternationalYouthDay and our efforts to empower youth to lead the change.

☑️ Strengthening the capacities of grassroots organizations To increase our impact, we support local organizations and social entrepreneurs that contribute to community development. Through Women’s Funds, we finance and strengthen the capacity of feminist organizations and women leaders who work closely with local communities to build a more equitable society. In Mexico, gender-based and sexual violence – including rape, intimidation, sexual abuse of minors, and femicide – are systemic issues. On average, 11 women and girls are murdered every day. As the only Women’s Fund in Mexico, our partner Fondo Semillas works with 155 organizations across 32 states, providing funding and strengthening their organizational capacity. Through our latest impact report, we share the achievements we have made with our partners over the past 15 years, through 15 key impacts. Check out the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eJJp-J3s

A report released this year by UNICEF, World Health Organization, Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI) highlights the intersections between violence against children and violence against women. It echoes what we have heard from our partners based on their experiences on the ground. We believe that by addressing violence at an early age, the cycle of intergenerational violence can be broken. That is why, from 2023, we have expanded our commitment to include addressing violence against children. Find the report here: https://lnkd.in/e4nHgxEJ #endviolence
