L'Oreal Fund for Women

The crisis triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated many existing inequalities, with devastating effects on those who were already struggling socially or economically or were victims of abuse, especially women.

For this reason, L’Oréal, which has long been committed to supporting women’s rights, has created in 2020 the L’Oréal Fund for Women, a three-year charitable endowment fund of 50 million euros, to support grassroots organizations in their efforts to:

• help women achieve social and professional integration;
• provide emergency assistance to refugee women;
• provide emergency assistance to disabled women;
• prevent domestic/sexual violence against women and support survivors;
• overcome obstacles to women and girls’ access to education.
