Menstrual leave and employer-financed psychotherapy are only some of the solutions offered by employers as part of their gender equality policies. Ninety-nine admissions in the competition organised by the Kulczyk Foundation, Kongres Kobiet (Congress of Women) and Polish Confederation Lewiatan came up with a plethora of interesting ideas.
Although 70% of Polish women consider menopause an important time in a woman’s life, as many as 93% of respondents are unable to define it correctly, according to a report commissioned by the Kulczyk Foundation and presented on 2 September by Dominika Kulczyk at the Congress of Women in Poznań. The study is the first of its kind in Poland.
Heroic resistance against the German invader, but also the nightmare of everyday life during the war, are the experiences of women portrayed in the exhibition titled ‘Podróż bohaterek’ [‘The Journey of Heroines’] whose opening will take place on August 2 at the Warsaw Rising Museum. The exhibition is partnered by the Kulczyk Foundation.
Since 2013, the Kulczyk Foundation has been providing wise help, fighting with various forms of discrimination and inequality affecting women and girls. The activities of the foundation which I head are based on the use of sustainable solutions. Apart from the financial support we also provide the necessary knowledge by conducting educational activities. Only in this way will one be able to achieve a lasting, positive change and build a reality without gender limitations.

Our aid projects help us understand the problems the modern world is facing. Our documentaires and educational programs drive change across societies .
Our documentaries shine a light on community problems in different parts of the world, and present organisations and local unsung heros who benefit from our support. In Poland, the Domino Effect TV series is created in cooperation with TVN - the largest private television in Poland. Through this work, we are able to reach those who might have never heard about a specific issue or the way in which they can help. This partnership results in a number of long form documentaries, which have been recognised at international film festivals. As part of our partnership with the CNN Freedom Project, we also produce a series of documentaries for English speaking audience. The series explores the issues of modern slavery and human trafficking, and is regularly broadcast on CNN International.
Since the beginning of its existence, the Kulczyk Foundation has been working to shape the socio-emotional competences of children and adolescents.

We believe that wise education, implemented in a spirit of freedom and empathy, is a basic component of sustainable development for every human being, as well as a chance for a good start in adult life. No matter where they are from.
