Freedom and Fashion: Fighting Human Trafficking Through Fashion


Do you like this story?


Not For Sale All Saints
We often come across companies doing truly inspiring things, working on making our world a better place. Freedom and Fashion is one of those companies.

Freedom and Fashion is a fashion orientated organization that serves as a resource hub for fair-trade businesses and non-profit organizations dealing with the fight against child labor and human trafficking. They work on promoting companies such as Not For Sale, Polaris Project, Falling Whistles, def.i.ni.cion, Raven + Lilly, International Princess Project, and Krochet Kids International that raise awareness about these issues.

Question: How do they do it?
Answer: Through fashion!

FnFLogo.TallFor the third year in a row, Freedom and Fashion is producing a Fair Trade Fashion Show (promoting companies such as the ones listed above) on Saturday, December 17, in Downtown Los Angeles.

UK fashion brand All Saints recently produced and designed a t-shirt collection featuring Not For Sale, the proceeds of which will go directly toward Not For Sale’s work in fighting human trafficking. The collection already has a celeb following—model Agyness Deyn and rocker Jamie Hince have been spotted with them!

Freedom and Fashion is dedicated to educating society about the global social issues of modern-day slavery, sex trafficking, child labor, and human rights violations. FnF addresses these injustices through the purchasing power of conscious consumerism, by increasing the demand for socially responsible and ethically produced goods and ensuring they are readily available to consumers.
