Yesterday (November 25th) was the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women : on this occasion the Social School for Women empowerment project, supported by the Danone Ecosystem Fund, has been awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality and therefore recognized as a best practice to fight against domestic violence.
The Danone Ecosystem Fund contributes to the empowerment of women throughout the world
Ana Bella Estevez at EVE 2012, Iman Bibars at EVE 2013… One works along with her Foundation, on restoring confidence to female victims of domestic violence by offering them rewarding professional opportunities. The other chairs an organization to fight against poverty, providing microloans and legal aid to underprivileged women in the developing world.
Both made dramatic waves throughout the assembly when they spoke at the plenary session in Evian.
Both were discovered by the organizers of the EVE Program through the Danone Ecosystem Fund.
Diego Gaspari: “EVE, the leadership program that is the most centered on self-knowledge and the most in tune with others”
Diego Gaspari is one of the male participants (40% were men) who took part in the latest seminar for the EVE Program in December 2012. We wanted to ask him about his take on this experience.
Sara Righenzi : “I’ve never had the impression that being female is a disadvantage”
Sara is a “Directeur de Mission associé” at KPMG. She tells us why she is fond of her job, and how she became a feminist.
« For the first time of my life, I felt what it’s like to be part of a minority ! »
Jean-Marc Lagoutte, Group Chief Information Officer, explains his presence at the EVE seminar, what he enjoyed, and what he does at Dan’IS in order to make the gender issue evolve.
