UN Trust Fund and Soko join hands to support empowerment of girls and women

The United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women (UNTF) and Soko are partnering to support the financial and physical security of women and girls around the world. Soko artisans in Kenya have created a unique pair of handmade bracelets to raise awareness and funds for the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women.

The Soko + UNTF bracelets will contribute to the economic empowerment of an underprivileged artisan community and, at the same time, support UNTF programmes to prevent violence against women around the world.

The campaign invites you to support a better life for female artisans and to help eradicate violence against women and girls through the sale of the bracelets. Every purchase helps support the financial and physical security of women and girls around the world.

The Soko / UNTF bracelet campaign will invite people all over the world to purchase the bracelets and show their support via a social media campaign from 25 November 2014 throughout 2015. #UNTF, @SayNO_UNiTE ; facebook.com/SayNO. UNiTE.
