It’s International Women’s Day and this marks the beginning of our journey into charity. We want to get involved with charities in the future and do our bit with MyBikePlan. As a fitting start, we would like to join you in advocating for women’s equality worldwide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The official International Women’s Day organisation has chosen the theme “choosetochallenge” for this year. It is about raising your hand and addressing existing injustices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here in Switzerland, too, we still experience significant differences between the sexes in terms of wages and the proportion of women in leading positions. Globally, there are still huge differences between the sexes in the field of politics as well as in social and socio-economic status. #choosetochallenge challenges all of us to give space to these issues, to address them and to advocate for them together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As MyBikePlan, we would like to donate part of our profits in the month of March to the Womanity Foundation based in Geneva. After extensive research, we became aware of this Swiss organisation. The founder, Yann Borgstedt, founded it in 2005 and has been following his guiding principle “Be the change you wish to see in the world” ever since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Womanity mainly supports women in Afghanistan, Brazil, India, the Middle East and North Africa. They help them build their own lives by providing opportunities and enabling prospects through education and work training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So in March, we decided to donate 50% of the first instalment on all e-bikes sold in the Allegro Invisible range to the Womanity Foundation. If you want to learn more about Womanity, you can click here. They offer impressive facts and trivia on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are delighted to be campaigning for more equality and opportunity in the world this month. Follow us on Instagram for more posts on this topic and be part of it too \ud83d\ude42 . <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the way: Womanity’s founder Yann Borgstedt was a speaker at TEDxCoventGarden in 2013 – highly recommended video!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
