Created in 2006 by Danièle Marcovici , the RAJA - Danièle Marcovici
Foundation has established itself as a key player in the advance -
ment of women ’ s rights . As France ' s the first foundation dedicated
to women ’ s rights , it has spearheaded the development of feminist
philanthropy .
The Foundation ’ s aim is to promote the autonomy , dignity
and rights of women in France and around the world , by
supporting community projects led by local organisations .
Its strategic priorities are :
• Defending rights and tackling violence against women and girls .
• Education and social action .
• Training and employment support .
• Women ’ s environmental initiatives .
The Foundation has three missions :
• Providing operational support to organisations that work directly
with women and the communities concerned .
• Mobilising the Group ' s 4 , 700 employees .
• Raising awareness of women ’ s rights and equality among the
general public and political and institutional decision - makers , in
order to effect change in laws , practices and attitudes .
I have always believed that
the role of a company is not only
economic but also social and
societal . For this reason , and
thanks to the economic success
of RAJA , I decided to create the
RAJA - Danièle Marcovici
Foundation .
