Supporting Women for Women International to help empower women around the world.
This International Women's Day is about celebrating the vital contribution that all women make and working towards closing the gender gap. At Edge of Ember we are an all-girl team, and spreading a positive message of female empowerment is at the heart of what we believe in.
This year we are very excited to support Women for Women International on their mission to help women survivors of war rebuild their lives. For the month of March, we are celebrating fearless females around the world with two special necklaces. £20 from each sale will be donated to the “Sponsor a Sister” programme which supports women affected by war and conflict.
Right now, there are over forty brutal armed conflicts across the globe. That is a staggering number, and with even more devastating consequences.
When there is an outbreak of violence, women are the ones who suffer the most – they experience trauma, sexual violence and the death of children and loved ones.
And when the conflict is over, it is women who are left to rebuild their families and their lives, while the world’s attention moves on.
They support women who live in some of the world’s most dangerous places. The charity enrols women onto a year-long training programme that equips them with a marketable job skill, practical knowledge about their health and rights and the confidence to make their voices heard at home and in their community. These essential skills help women build a brighter future for themselves and their families.
To date, Women for Women has helped 479,000 marginalised women survivors of war in 8 different countries - Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Rwanda and South Sudan.
We have chosen a 18k gold-plated sterling silver necklace that represent female empowerment and this cause.
Our Fearless necklace is a nod to the indomitable women out there and their strength and resilience. £20 from the sale of each of these necklaces will be donated to Women for Women International with proceeds going directly to their one year programme that gives women the chance to build a sustainable livelihood.
