IWD #Give to Gain - Veldhoven Fund

Stichting Blijf Groep

Our mission is to help people to end domestic violence. We firmly believe that we can achieve this objective by engaging as many stakeholders as possible. Our focus is to end the violence as much as possible in people's own homes, using their strengths and within their own circles.
We stand for a sustainable approach to violence and the creation of the right conditions for safety and recovery.

Stichting YvYa is an Eindhoven‑based nonprofit dedicated to developing the Early Warning Scan, an innovative, painless, and women‑friendly technique for the early detection of breast cancer. By supporting YvYa through the IWD “Give to Gain” campaign, we help advance a breakthrough that empowers women with earlier, more comfortable diagnostic options and promotes long‑term wellbeing in our communities.

Stichting Voices For Women

Voices for Women is a Dutch non‑profit foundation dedicated to transforming women’s healthcare by addressing the long‑standing medical knowledge gap that affects millions of women. Their mission is to ensure that women with unexplained or under‑researched health issues are finally heard, believed, and properly treated.
Why it fits the IWD’26 Fund:
Their work directly supports one of the most urgent equity issues of our time: women are still frequently misdiagnosed because medical research historically centers the male body. Voices for Women advocates for evidence‑based, gender‑specific research and care, aligning strongly with IWD’s global theme of advancing equality.
