National Confederation of Women's Entrepreneurship launches Empowering Hope project for refugee women from Ukraine

"Romania is facing a reality that requires immediate action: the highest incidence of cervical cancer in the European Union. Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer. However, Romania continues to register the highest incidence and mortality rates from cervical cancer in the European Union, disproportionately affecting women of active age. Over 1,793 deaths and 3,368 new cases were reported in our country in 2022, and estimates show a constant increase in the following years. Each new case represents a personal drama, and an economic burden for society: productivity losses, of more than 46 million euros annually, reflect the impact of insufficient prevention and treatment management. While thousands of women struggle with this disease, the war in Ukraine adds a new dimension to the suffering. In this context, the National Confederation of Women's Entrepreneurship (CONAF) is launching the Empowering Hope project, a visionary initiative that redefines solidarity between the two nations," the release states.

According to the cited source, this initiative puts humanitarian support and commitment to health, inclusion and social equity in the foreground and represents support "for women who bear the burden of war and vulnerability".

"Empowering Hope will become a bridge between the present marked by suffering and a sustainable future for over 300 refugee women", CONAF representatives say.

"Empowering Hope is proof that solidarity can transcend barriers and transform lives. It is a commitment to a healthier, fairer and more united world. It is proof that prevention is not only a medical strategy, but also an investment in the future. Together with CONAF, Romania reaffirms its place at the heart of European values, proving that when we build together, no obstacle is insurmountable", the release mentioned.

The National Confederation of Women's Entrepreneurship (CONAF) is the strongest confederation in Romania that campaigns for the efficiency of the dialogue with the authorities, the collaboration for the development of public policies that lead to sustainable economic growth and supports entrepreneurs, recognizing their merits. CONAF represents the largest entity of its kind in Romania, an organization that promotes and supports Romanian entrepreneurship, something without precedent, which opens horizons for collaboration and cooperation both domestically and internationally. CONAF came into being as a result of the need to create a modern, sustainable and fair entrepreneurial culture, not only for women's entrepreneurship, but also for the entire business milieu. CONAF has in its composition 30 branches, 2 federations, 38 associations, over 5,500 companies and 220,000+ employees.
