The solution lies in the economic empowerment of women.

At Fashion For Empowerment, fashion is an agent of social change to help women turn challenges into opportunities and take control of their futures. We open the door to economic independence and lay the groundwork for longterm sustainability by creating jobs, supporting education, and providing skill training. From our timeless, handmade pieces to the life-changing opportunities we create, we're cultivating a movement that is made to last.

We envision a world in which women live free from extreme poverty, gender violence, and human trafficking. A world in which women are educated, empowered, and entrepreneurs; one that offers a beacon of hope and a voice to those who've been fighting social injustice. A world in which women are empowered to create again, trust again, and love again.
