3 years, 7 months agoThe lifestyle brand with products made by survivors of human trafficking and marginalization.
Made for Freedom increases economic empowerment for marginalized women and sex trafficking survivors while raising awareness through globally inspired apparel and ethical fashion.
Made for Freedom® is a St. Louis-based, for-profit social enterprise, wholesale/retail apparel company and a global force for good. Initial products, CREABELITM (derived from CREating A BEautiful LIfe) pants and fashion tee shirts, are manufactured with dignified employment by vulnerable women and made available to consumers through e-commerce and retail stores. In addition to dignified employment, Made for Freedom (MFF) donates a portion of proceeds to organizations for preventative and restorative programs that fight against sex trafficking. The exceptional style, distinctiveness, size flexibility and comfort differentiate CREABELI pants in the marketplace, while the socially conscious mission compels consumers through purchasing to fight for freedom.
While there is no panacea for the tentacles of sex trafficking, when girls and women are provided with education, life skills, job training, and opportunities for dignified, living-wage employment, their level of vulnerability decreases as their financial independence and value to the community increase. Even though the sex trafficking trade is a vast, illegal industry, the US Department of State has devised a list of “20 Ways
You Can Help Fight Human Trafficking,” including purchasing survivor made items. MFF is a ‘clicks and mortar’ fashion business with social mission sewn directly into the brand and every garment. MFF’s mission-based strategy of selling products that bridge the gap between the fashion consumer and socially conscious activist meet a fourfold purpose to:
1 increase the quality of life for marginalized women worldwide; by
2 building a profitable online-retail and wholesale business; that
3 raises awareness regarding the plight of the enslaved; while
4 funding life skills and job training for survivors of sex trafficking.
