Commitment
From the social aspect of the WFO-WFW strategy, we will like to have two main fold objective:
•To generate real alternatives of development that benefit the poorest people throughout the fashion industry
•To share with the world the most positive aspects of these associated countries within the frame of the Fashion Industry.
The WFW-WFO first objective will promote initiatives that offer the poorest, men and women, real alternatives that enable them to escape poverty, prioritizing initiatives for or under the leadership of women. Specially, those social initiatives related to the world of fashion, a sector that offers an unquestionable potential to generate alternatives for training and job opportunities for the disadvantaged. The WFO is developing a strategic intervention aimed at the creation of microcredit programs, school workshops and social cooperatives, among other initiatives.
To achieve our second goal, we have a team of professionals in the world of communication that allow us to generate photographic and audiovisual reports that have a high impact on Western societies through our partnerships with media groups at local, national and international levels.
In this matter, WFW and its affiliated organizations such as WFO World Fashion Organization. raise global awareness of the United Nations Missions, such as the UN Development Program, the UN Global Compact and its universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption, as well as UNIFEM for gender equality and the empowerment of women, and the Grameen Foundation, working under the philosophy that was proposed more than 30 years ago by the Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus in Bangladesh, especially targeting and empowering women and their capacity to successfully manage this aid, as motors of their societies.
