Through one of our employees, it came to our attention that Voices for Women is actively and creatively advocating for its goals. Voices for Women advocates for gender-specific care.

As early as the last century, it was known that the female body gets sick differently than the male body, but that the male body is considered the norm. This significant knowledge gap leads to misdiagnoses and incorrect treatments, sometimes resulting in fatal consequences. The foundation raises awareness through symposiums, lectures, and has recently launched the National Women's Health Day on May 25, 2024.

Additionally, they are building a platform for women with unexplained health issues. Research shows that 80 percent of all patients with unexplained health issues are women, and this is related to insufficient knowledge. They also advocate for targeted research into male-female differences. We are happy to support their cause. Please read more about it!

The Collaboration for Equal Opportunity & Citizenship Education (SKB) is advocating for equal opportunities for all children. But how can we accelerate this fight and make it even more effective? During the Week of Equal Opportunities (November 2023), they are organizing an event that is not about young people but instead focuses on putting young people at the center. Cirrus is one of the funds supporting this initiative.

Cirrus supports the AVA foundation. This is a one-time suport but we believe that is is necessary. Even in the Netherlands women-rights are under pressure! We support AVA because: 

-We think we have to listen more closely to what women really want on abortion and contraception;

-We think we have to do more survey on the experience of abortion and contraception;
-We think there is to less progression on new ways of birth control (for women and for men);
-We believe there should be more freedom of choice;
-We worry about the conservative sound wearing around in the Netherlands
