The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is home to the 21st century’s most precious minerals. But this vast wealth fuels armed conflict. As a result, 48 women are raped every hour and survivors are often left to fend for themselves. Worse yet, most consumers with the income to make a difference are disconnected from this reality.

We are unlocking the transformative power of fashion to raise awareness about the issue of rape in war and upskill survivors through our novel C3 impact framework.
