Gucci will support the abortion rights of its employees in the U.S.

While in the U.S. it is back to talk about the right to abortion, with the Supreme Court that could challenge the effects of the Roe vs. Wade ruling, which has regulated access to pregnancy termination services since 1973, Gucci has decided to stand up for women's rights through the Chime for Change initiative. Here is the brand's statement: 

«When Gucci founded the global Chime for Change campaign in 2013, the company committed to use its voice and resources in the global fight for gender equality. As we now face a critical moment in U.S. history, Gucci remains steadfast in its belief that access to reproductive health care is a fundamental human right. The company will now provide travel reimbursement to any U.S. employee who needs access to health care not available in their home state. Through the Chime for Change campaign, Gucci will also continue to support partner organizations that enable access to reproductive health and protect human rights, especially for the most vulnerable».

And if Chime for Change has already collected an impressive number of results in its almost ten years of life, including $19 million raised to support 460 projects in 89 different countries, Gucci had already sided with women's reproductive rights during the Cruise 2020 show, during which Alessandro Michele sent items down the runway bearing the words My Body My Choice, the proceeds of which were donated to Planned Parenthood, but also the date 22. 5.78 which referred to the day abortion became legal in Italy and embroideries representing a uterus.
