使命与价值观
Prada集团与联合国下属的性健康与生殖健康机构联合国人口基金会(UNFPA)合作,进一步加强其对多元性、平等和包容性的承诺。
培训课程“时尚表达:她的着装故事”(Fashion Expressions: The Stories She Wears)为年轻女性提供时尚行业的宝贵知识和实践技能。
In its first cycle, the project involved 30 women embroiderers and weavers from indigenous and surrounding communities in the state of Querétaro (Mexico) to strengthen their technical, artistic and financial skills.
Through a six-month training period, together with the local non-profit organization Nest, this project gave the fermale participants the opportunity to showcase their cultural heritage and equipped them with a greater understanding of their sexual and reproductive rights at the same time.
The training is followed up by opportunities to collaborate with companies under the guidance of fashion professionals.
A new edition of the project will take place in 2025, involving 46 artisans from Querétaro: 26 of whom completed the training last year and will take on the role of mentors, along with a new group of 20 young women, aged 25 to 28, with experience in embroidery and handicrafts.
Thanks to Prada Group's presence in Mexico, the 2025 edition will introduce for the first time employee engagement opportunities.
联合国人口基金会(UNFPA)与Prada集团之间合作的美妙之处在于,将创意置于构建面向妇女和女童的包容社区的核心。我们已经目睹了这一模式在非洲产生的影响,通过以时尚为媒介,推动性与生殖健康权利、性别平等,以及女性经济赋权。我们满怀期待,期望看到它为墨西哥克雷塔罗的女性工匠带来的影响。

2021年,时尚界领军者Prada集团与一直致力于促进性别平等的UNFPA开始正式合作,并与International Needs(加纳)、Kitui County Government与Kitui County Textile Centre(肯尼亚)共同开发这项培训项目。
12个月后,学员们在加纳或肯尼亚举办了时装秀以展示自己的作品:这是与当地时装公司建立联系、开始实习并发掘长期就业机会的非凡机会。
此培训课程促进人们深入了解妇女权利,减少性别不平等。该项目提供了性与生殖健康方面的综合教育课程,涵盖经期保健管理、青春期和预防少女怀孕等主题。此外,参与者亦接受了关于防范和应对性别暴力的培训,从而掌握宝贵技能来帮助回击包括女性割礼和童婚在内的侵害行为。
该培训项目反映了Prada集团对时尚作为一种力量的坚定信念。很荣幸能与联合国人口基金会(UNFPA)就此独特项目展开合作,利用时尚行业的社会和经济力量创造更加包容和平等的社会
Prada集团营销总监及企业社会责任负责人Lorenzo Bertelli说道
“我们很荣幸进一步深化与UNFPA的合作,通过‘Fashion Expressions:The Stories She Wears’项目为新一代女性艺术家提供指导和赋能。Prada集团有幸参与其中,为全世界有抱负的年轻设计师提供更多机会。”
