When it comes to creating a sustainable future for everyone, where communities stand strong every day and in the face of a crisis, it starts with her. By dropping off pre-loved womenswear at your local British Red Cross shop, you’ll be supporting strong women to build stronger communities in Bangladesh. In the slums of Barishal, Bangladesh life for women is hard. They are more likely to miss out on getting an education and struggle to make a living, be abandoned by men migrating through the city, and suffer violence – purely for being a woman. They’re some of the poorest people there, and suffer the worst when monsoon season hits. Every pound spent on women’s clothing before 31 March will be doubled by the UK government to help strong women to build stronger communities in Bangladesh.
