Querétaro, Mexico, August 2024 — The Prada Group, renowned for its Italian craftsmanship, is making a significant leap in its global outreach with the launch of a pioneering fashion training program in Mexico. In collaboration with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), this initiative aims to empower local female artisans in Querétaro state.
The program, titled “Fashion Expressions: The Stories She Wears,” marks a first-of-its-kind effort by Prada Group to integrate fashion training with women’s empowerment and education on sexual and reproductive health. Through this initiative, female artisans from local communities will gain technical and practical skills relevant to the fashion industry, enhancing their craftsmanship and employability.
In addition to honing fashion-related skills, the program places a strong emphasis on promoting women’s empowerment. By partnering with UNFPA, the initiative ensures that participants also receive vital knowledge about sexual and reproductive health, fostering a holistic approach to personal and professional development.
This innovative scheme by Prada Group underscores the brand’s commitment to social responsibility and global community engagement, setting a new precedent in the fashion industry’s role in societal development.
