Context
French and migrant women, often with children, represent more than 17% of the people living in street situations in Paris and the Ile de France. The poverty of these women is multidimensional.
This extreme precariousness has been further exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis.
FXB in action
The lack of hygiene faced by these women and children has a direct influence on the deterioration of both physical and mental health. Since 2018 and in order to address the most urgent needs in terms of hygiene, FXB France, in partnership with ADSF (Agir pour la Santé des Femmes), has been distributing essential baby hygiene products (diapers and wipes), as well as sanitary napkins for mothers.
Women in street situations, already very fragile, will be the first victims of the damage that COVID-19 will leave in its wake. We are therefore working on the project to adapt our proven VillageFXB poverty reduction model to the context of these women and their children in order to strengthen their overall capacities and achieve sustainable economic empowerment.
We are looking for partners to support us in this project we would like to launch in 2021.
