The A40s - The Association of Women over 40 is a non-profit, non-governmental organization, aiming at promoting the welfare of women over 40 in Greece and beyond. Women over 40 years of age face the consequences of both these discriminations in every aspect of their lives including the workplace, in employability, in accessibility to pensions and other health services, insurance and basic commodities. The A40s provide professional empowerment, psychological support and social awareness about gendered ageism. We also act as a community of nearly 14,000 people in Greece, wishing to make a profound change regarding the image and the rights of people over 40.
Our team aims to: combat ageism, particularly gendered ageism; empower women over 40s in their work place, provide psychological support and assist them in their personal development; promote social awareness on matters regarding ageism and gender based discrimination. Our actions include: 1. awareness campaigns; 2. empowerment events and actions aiming at the development and networking of women above 40; 3. a series of programs that will increase the mental, spiritual and physical health of our members.
