Most Dynamic Woman Award Honouring exceptional women for their beauty on the inside
Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Eau Dynamisante, CLARINS created Most Dynamic Woman of the Year Award which aims to recognize exceptional women who devote themselves to improve the lives of children across the globe.
Carrying on the legacy of CLARINS founder Mr. Jacques Courtin-Clarins, through his sons who are equally committed to philanthropy, the Award reflects his vision for a civic-minded beauty company, dedicated to giving back to the community, to the environment, and in every way - to women. Mr. Jacques Courtin-Clarins's passion to help women to look and feel their best can be matched only by his love for children and a will to protect their innocence. It is this link of life and love that has been passed on from generations to generations and around the world.
Since 1997, the Award has been presented to twelve extraordinary women in France. It is also staged in Canada, Denmark, Germany, Hong Kong SAR, Korea, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, UK, and USA…with over 50 women awarded around the world.
In 2004, CLARINS Hong Kong continued CLARINS global commitment to women and children by awarding the Honourable Dr. Anson Chan, GBM, GCMG, CBE, JP, with Asia’s very first “Most Dynamic Woman Award”. The Award is not just an honour with a lovely trophy, it comes with concrete financial assistance to fund her lifesaving efforts. During 2004-2007, the fund has been passed on to The Zonta Club of Hong Kong East for their children charity projects. As for 2008, Anson will pass on the funding from Most Dynamic Woman Award to support Enlighten this year. It is a charitable organization that aims to benefit anyone directly or indirectly affected by Epilepsy by providing a range of free and uniquely personalized services. As a Patron, Anson supports the organization in raising the awareness of epilepsy issues in all sectors of the community, fund-raising activities and opening up opportunities for people affected by epilepsy.
On December 8th, 2008, Ms. Josephine Siao Fong Fong mBE was awarded Most Dynamic Woman Award in celebrating the 10th anniversary of End Child Sexual Abuse Foundation, which aims to protect anyone under 18 from sexual abuse. The number of reported cases of child sexual abuse in Hong Kong is on the rise, yet 50% of incidence go unreported. Therefore, ECSAF provides public education and educational outreach programs in local schools, counseling service for family and children in need to fight against child sexual abuse. During the award presentation ceremony, Fong Fong received the Most Dynamic Award trophy as well as a funding to support ECSAF Sexual-Abuse-Preventive Programs for Primary 5-6 students.
