Products Made by Trafficking Survivors
In our VIP bag were BitchStix which is a cruelty-free self-care brand and woman owned business that gives their proceeds to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. They are trying to reclaim the b word inspire a "call to action to transform a “bad” word into a force for good." They donate a portion of their proceeds every year to local non-profits working on domestic violence and sexual assault. Here is their website for more information.
Then finally Freedom Studios won the award for Liberator Business of the year and we also got some of their lotion and an informational flyer about the company. They are located in South Dakota and provide jobs to local trafficking survivors who make all of their bath and body products. By providing "hope through therapeutic employment and healing through products that nourish the body and spirit.. survivors can heal in the most practical way...while earning a dignified wage as they reintegrate into the workforce and rebuild their lives." Each product that they sell is created in the studio by a survivor and I really loved their message. They have wholesale options and so I might try to see if the lab can sell some of their smaller items in the future at our tabling events and help support survivors. Here is their website for more information.
