The Avon Foundation for Women tackles the causes that matter most to women. Its ethos is based on the belief that, the greater the support, the more empowered women feel to take control of their own safety and health.
A driving force
Avon and the Avon Foundation have contributed over $1 billion USD over the years to the causes that matter most to women. Working in partnership with affiliate Avon Foundations and Avon countries around the world, the Avon Foundation for Women is a driving force behind charitable, scientific, educational and humanitarian work that improves the lives of women and their families.
From raising awareness, to delivering lifesaving resources, the Avon Foundation for Women works on women’s causes through:
- assembling partners and thought leaders to collaborate and share best practices
- educating the public and key audiences to change behaviour and improve the lives of women around the world
The Foundation aims to accelerate progress, accountability and discovery, and reduce the social stigma that sometimes keep women's issues hidden.
Four key programmes
