International Cooperative Alliance’s Post

In the framework of the UNITE campaign we, as cooperators, stands for urgent collective actions for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls. The commitments of #cooperatives in fighting gender violence are numerous and important. Many cooperatives, all over the world, offer support to victims of violence and gender discrimination. Thanks to their commitment, women and people who are victims of violence and discrimination can receive assistance, welcome and support, in many kinds of social and local services. All cooperatives are committed to create the conditions for safe workplaces where there is no space for violence and discrimination, both physical and verbal. But violence means also economic violence. The cooperative model often represents a solution for the women entrepreneurships projects when they need to get independence and a new life after experiences of violence and abuse. Cooperatives build a better world and will always be committed to eliminating gender violence. https://lnkd.in/ebGHik47 #16DíasDeActivismo #StopViolencia
