Created in 2020, the L’Oréal Fund for Women is an endowment fund dedicated to supporting grassroots organizations and associations that assist highly vulnerable women and girls and combat gender-based and sexual violence. The Fund supports projects that provide access to education, social and professional integration, and the protection of women’s rights, contributing to the resilience of women and girls in highly precarious situations.
