Fondation La femme d'abordRaise funds to advance research into women’s health conditions that remain under-researched by supporting research organizations in Canada and internationally.
Because many conditions that affect women are still the subject of too little research.
Fondation La Femme d’Abord mobilizes its community to raise funds and donate them to organizations making a concrete contribution to advancing women’s health research in Canada and internationally.
We support organizations conducting research into women’s health conditions that still require greater scientific attention.
We raise public awareness of women’s health realities for which research remains limited.
We organize fundraisers and initiatives to support selected organizations.
The funds raised support work that helps advance research and knowledge about women’s health in Canada and internationally.
Together, let’s advance women’s health.
It all began with her own story. Like many women, Carla had never heard of diastasis recti until she experienced it herself. When she discovered how many women are affected by this condition, she realized how many women’s health realities remain far too little known.
By sharing her experience and raising awareness among women around the world, she quickly realized that diastasis is not the only condition receiving too little research. Many issues affecting women still deserve greater attention, visibility and progress.
Today, through Fondation La Femme d’Abord, Carla wants to mobilize her community to raise funds and donate them to organizations helping advance women’s health research in Canada and internationally.
