It was these worrying statistics about the high levels of women who have experienced violence and exploitation that prompted Chiara Condi to create HERAFrance in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Research in the US has revealed that education and training programs (which include themes on economic empowerment), for women who are victims of violence have improved their financial security and confidence in themselves.<\/p>\n<p>HERAFrance aims to provide assistance and training to women who are or have been victims of exploitation or violence, accompanying them in their professional development because she says, &#8220;<em>there is help available for women who have suffered violence, but there is not enough hope. In order to succeed they need to acquire the tools to capitalize on the strong spirit of resilience in the face of their ability to survive&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>HERAFrance relies on a range of partners in Paris specializing in entrepreneurship and support, including I\u00c9SEG School of Management and the Entrepreneurship Chair at ESCP Europe.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00c9SEG colloborated with the association to build the program &#8220;Entreprendre ta vie&#8221;,\u00a0because for <a title=\"Dr. Janice BYRNE\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/en\/faculty-and-research\/professor\/?id=1935\">Dr. Janice Byrne<\/a>, EMBA lecturer and academic director of HERAFrance at I\u00c9SEG, &#8220;<em>participating in the program provides these women with the opportunity to build a new future. By restoring confidence, this program encourages them to find an underestimated force in themselves and helps them to recover through training and obtaining a position of responsibility. Entrepreneurship therefore not only serves as a lever for economic independence but also enables development on a social and personal level&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Entreprendre ta vie&#8221; :\u00a0<\/strong><strong>a unique program in France<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once or twice a month, a group of 20 women attend courses at I\u00c9SEG School of Management.
