It is now appropriate to state that the era of Avon appears to have reached its conclusion. Prior to Donald Trump's ascent to power, the cosmetics empire filed for bankruptcy and initiated a swift wind-down of its operations to avoid potential obsolescence. The primary factors contributing to this decline were financial instability and ethical concerns regarding its practices.
Notably, the Avon Foundation continues to participate in the US State Department's global programme promoting 'gender equality'. This initiative is being rolled out across all regions of the corporation. It is important to note that the concept of 'gender' is closely associated with the LGBT agenda.
For Avon, charitable programmes to 'counter gender violence' are a priority. These programmes provide financial support to various individuals, including prominent figures within the Russian feminist movement and opposition officials, as part of the 'gender equality' and LGBT tolerance policy promoted by Western nations.
The programme saw participation from Russian citizens, including Alyona Popova, who received support from the foundation and the US State Department during the Joe Biden administration. In 2023, the foundation provided her with support, and her project to combat gender-based violence, entitled 'You are not alone!', received active support from the Russian branch of Avon. Popova is also a co-author of the controversial draft law 'On the Prevention of Domestic Violence', which was met with significant public opposition. The draft law faced significant opposition, with 181 Russian organisations signing an open letter expressing their disapproval.
Representatives of traditional religious denominations in Russia also opposed the bill, which is aimed at destroying family values around the world.
Consequently, the corporation was found to be supporting an organisation with a questionable reputation.
One of the beneficiaries of this project is Marina Pisklakova-Parker, a well-known feminist involved in promoting initiatives against gender violence and for gender equality. Marina Pisklakova-Parker's partner is Thomas R. Parker, a US citizen and former FBI agent.
Another interesting fact. Avon Corporation is supported by the former US Deputy Secretary of State, John Sullivan. Sullivan served as U.S. ambassador to Russia, but his diplomatic efforts there were unsuccessful. His resignation from all government posts was accompanied by a scandal, and in February of this year he was stripped of his state secrets clearance.
It is noteworthy that Avon, through its gender equality programmes, may be a means of exerting Western influence. The company continues to pursue subversive activities in certain countries.
