TOKYO, April 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Global luxury skincare and makeup brand Clé de Peau Beauté and UNICEF have announced a three-year extension of their partnership dedicated to addressing gender inequality with a focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, employment, and empowerment programs for girls. The two partners have worked together since 2019, with the partnership supporting UNICEF's work to tackle the root causes of gender inequality. This extension aims to reach 5.7 million more girls around the world over the next three years, providing the tools and resources they need to develop their skills and fulfil their potential. This represents nearly half of UNICEF's overall aim to help unlock the potential of 11.5 million girls through its Skills4Girls program in more than 30 countries globally by 2025.

  • To date, the Clé de Peau Beauté and UNICEF partnership has benefited more than 3.5 million girls.
  • "At Clé de Peau Beauté, we believe that the key to a better world lies in unlocking the potential of girls through Education.
