21 Badass Brands That Are Giving Back to Women's Causes This Month
On January 21, 2017, millions of women, men, and even children, took to the streets to march for women's rights in protest of Donald Trump's inauguration. One year later, on the anniversary of the original march, people took to the streets again. Few moments in the last few decades have been this challenging for women's rights. But if there had to be a silver lining to all this, it's the level of support, rallying, and activism that we've seen around women's causes, and this rings especially true during International Women's Day (and the whole month of March).
Case in point, hundreds of brands have partnered with nonprofit organizations this month to give back to the causes they feel most passionate about: supporting women in politics, fighting for gender equality, helping low-income women, funding the education of young girls. Want portions of your purchases to go toward Planned Parenthood, She Should Run, or Time's Up? Here are charitable brands that have released limited-edition products to give back to women's causes.
