CREA awarded Avon Global Believe Fund grant
On 6 August 2011, CREA was awarded a grant of $60,000 by the Avon Foundation for Women and Avon Global Philanthropy to continue its pioneering work towards ensuring that more women are able to articulate, access, and demand their human rights, have equal opportunities, and live free from violence. Andrea Jung, Chairman and CEO, Avon presented the grant award to Geetanjali Misra, Executive Director, CREA, during Avon's 125th anniversary celebration in New Delhi. This was followed by a speech by Geetanjali Misra to a crowd of over 2000 people, mainly women, from across India about the myriad of issues related to women's human rights and violence against women.
The donation was part of the new $1-million Avon Global Believe Fund, created to help support organizations that are working towards ending domestic violence in the 16 cities that are part of the 'Avon Believe World Tour' (including Delhi, India). Avon and the Avon Foundation for Women are funding an international network of outstanding non-profit organisations to help them prevent violence against women and provide critical life-saving services for victims of domestic violence and their families. CREA was chosen by Avon for its exceptional work in the fields of gender equality and women's human rights.
