Actress Salma Hayek, who is a board member of the Kering Foundation, helped raise over $3 million dollars to help end violence against women and children.
Salma’s husband, Francois-Henri Pinault, is Kering’s CEO, although the Kering Foundation consists of thirteen different directors to manage both the organization’s business and non-profit affairs.
Salma Hayek Raises MILLIONS To Help End Violence Against Women and Children
On Sunday afternoon, the “House of Gucci” actress shared a video featuring several clips from the second annual Charity For Dinner held earlier this month. “We still have a lot, a lot, of fighting to do,” Salma said in one of the clips. “But at the same time, you don’t feel alone during the fight and you feel the energy and togetherness, which is one of the themes tonight. So it was a very special night.”
The video also includes short statements from François-Henri Pinault, 61, actress and philanthropist Oprah Winfrey, Nobel Laureate and women’s education activist Malala Yousafzai, director and actress Olivia Wilde, and host and producer Lisa Ling.

In the caption of this Instagram post, Salma wrote, “Last week Yayasan Kering celebrated 15 years with the second annual Prihat Wanita dinner in the fight against violence against women and children.”
“In addition to the Kering Foundation’s annual commitment, we raised over $3 million to benefit: the Malala Fund, the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV), and the New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault,” she continued. “Let’s be the scissors that cut the cycle of violence against women and reshape the world.”
Fans were quick to praise the actor for his work. “All the work done is very important and appreciated and very beautiful. We (women) feel more supported because we’ve seen all the work they do,” commented one fan. “Thank you for your consistency and endless fight through this foundation. Keep fighting and inspiring people,” shared another follower.
