The Kering Foundation will distribute the “White Ribbon for Women" brooch designed by Stella McCartney, also a board director of the Kering Foundation, during this the 10th edition of the Women's Forum in Deauville. The White Ribbon is recognised as the global symbol for combatting violence against women, since the early 1990s. Three years ago, the Kering Foundation launched the "White Ribbon for Women" campaign, to raise awareness on the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women held each year on 25 November.
From 15 to 29 November, in partnership with the media group Condé Nast, 200,000 brooches will be distributed across 38 countries via more than 700 boutiques of Kering brands: Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Brioni, Stella McCartney and Tomas Maier. The White Ribbon brooch is designed using materials with low environmental impact.
1 in 3 women around the world is or will be a victim of violence, sexual abuse or other abuse during her lifetime. The 10th anniversary of the Women’s Forum will see the Kering Foundation continue in its pursuit of raising awareness on violence against women.
