There’s a powerful story behind everyone. Every story chips away at the barriers holding women back. Every story rewrites the future. Every story is someone else’s inspiration. Whoever we are, whatever our gender, we can stand together to make a change. Because we believe a better world for women is a better world for everyone.
Join our #MyStoryMatters movement by donating your story and helping us create a better place for all. The Avon Foundation will donate R17 for every story shared to charities supporting women in 2021.
