Check out this great article on CNN.com about Anuradha Koirala, a woman who’s made it her life’s mission to support survivors of sex trafficking in Nepal.  According to the U.S. State Department, some 10,000 to 15,000 women and girls from Nepal are trafficked to India and then sexually exploited each year.

You can help support survivors of trafficking in Nepal by purchasing the adorable felt purses in our Kid’s collection – made in Nepal.  Also, many women employed by Freeset in Calcutta, were also trafficked from Nepal.  Check out their fabulous products, too.

Emily founded Stop Traffick Fashion in 2009. She’d been becoming more and more involved in the abolitionist movement, and she decided to start STF as an opportunity to bring together the best of all products made by survivors of trafficking. She hopes her response to trafficking will inspire others to take action, even in a small way. Emily lives in Cincinnati, enjoys traveling, and has visited Hagar International and StopStart in Cambodia.
