Why this project ?
Because … according to the United Nations, around the world, violence against women is a major obstacle to human development. One in three women has been raped, beaten, or suffer some form at least once in their life (according to WHO).
Because … in Western countries, differences persist even if conditions have improved markedly since the 60s and the emergence of many feminist movements. Inequalities are visible both in the world of work (wage difference, part-time, restricted to senior management, low participation in politics … access) or daily with the division of household tasks.
Because… women constitute 70% of the 1.2 billion people living with less than 1 dollar / day according to UN Women
Because … two thirds of illiterates are women
Because … every year, four million women are sold into forced marriage, slavery and prostitution
Because … in OECD countries less than 30% of businesses are owned by women.
Because … in some countries women do not have the same legal rights as men.

Why calling it« Honorine » ?
Because it is the pretty name of my grandmother.
Because in Latin « Honoris » means Honor and that the project aims to honor the role of women in society.
