Our approach

One cause, five complementary levers.

  1. Rescue

    A free 24/7 help platform for French nationals living abroad, emergency shelter and repatriation to France.

  2. Raise awareness

    A touring exhibition labelled by UN Women, shown in more than 100 cities, and an immersive play in which the audience sits as the jury.

  3. Train

    Awareness and training programmes for companies and public bodies, and breast and gynaecological cancer screening.

  4. Mobilise

    A network of influential godmothers, partner NGOs and the support of French and European institutions.

  5. Transform

    Institutional advocacy and legislative proposals, social and digital innovation, and access to drinking water.

Sport for Women

Sport in service of women's health, protection and dignity.

An international campaign hosted by clubs and sporting events around two global causes: early detection of breast cancer and ending violence against women. 100% of donations go to the causes supported.
