#YoTambienQuiero
Campaign

During the month of March, we promoted a collective work campaign with the purpose of generating awareness of the national and international reality on issues such as gender equality, discrimination and sexual harassment. As part of the campaign, we were part of a mentoring day with Voces Vitales Costa Rica where we shared with young women and adolescents from Hogar Siembra who, due to various situations, have been exposed to environments of violence and risk.

Hogar Siembra is an institution created in 1983 that ensures the integral development of women. In this Comprehensive Training Center, young women study and receive courses in optimal conditions, providing shelter and tools for incorporation into the workplace. Both academic training and life skills are necessary for personal development in an environment of opportunity, respect and equity.

With Voces Vitales Costa Rica we share the vision of creating community between organizations aligned in the defense of human rights and the generation of spaces for accompaniment and empowerment among us.

The mentoring day was full of enthusiasm, active listening, creativity and participation in the activities that the collaborators of both organizations prepared in a socio-educational workshop. We also talked about empathy, which is the ability to understand the feelings of other people and the situations that each of us experiences without judging or harming ourselves, in order to support ourselves in a framework of solidarity. All these reflections allowed them to recognize their own characteristics, clinging to their dreams to build their future.

This workshop was one of mutual growth and changed the day of the 25 young people and the collaborators who participated. The activity left an even more significant footprint that fostered coordination between organizations and strengthened alliances, led to staff awareness and the interaction of interdisciplinary professionals. For the young women of the Hogar Siembra, it becomes an experience that broadened their life perspectives and the conditions for personal improvement and conflict resolution.

Definitely, these initiatives fill our souls and make us feel completely grateful for the opportunities that allow us to grow as a company and as women.

For us, fashion is the expression of our voice!
