It is not the first time PUMA and Women Win have worked together. In 2020, PUMA donated 100,000 euros to the organization as part of its “Forever Tied Together” campaign to support Women Win’s efforts in advancing gender equity from the bottom up.
For women and girls, sport is a powerful tool to challenge gender norms and stereotypes, to regain ownership of their bodies, to experience joy, freedom and pleasure. Giving girls and women access to sports can create opportunities for them to team up, speak out and get active –in sports and in their communities – which in turn can create more equal societies.
Women Win was started in 2006 as a global women’s fund dedicated to advancing girls’ and women’s rights through sports. Since then, their programs have impacted more than 4 million girls in 100 countries around the world.
“Women Win believes in the power of joined efforts to impact girls and women’s rights globally. It’s thanks to our partnerships that we are able to support local activist and implementing partners to drive the change needed for a future where every woman and girl exercises their rights,” said Maria Bobenrieth, Women Win’s Executive Director.
