Socially conscious company, Esprit, is once again teaming up with UN Women National Committee (NC) Australia to launch a signature scarf marking International Women’s Day on 8 March. Esprit is proud to continue its fifth year partnering with UN Women NC Australia, supporting the empowerment of women and girls across the globe. The accessory will be available in stores from February 27 and 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the scarves will go to UN Women programs, creating brighter futures for women and girls.
In addition to the signature scarf, 20% of profits from all sales instore and online from 4-5 March will go to support UN Women.
Stephen Newnham, Head of Retail Esprit Australia & New Zealand said, “It is an honour for Esprit ANZ to work so closely again with UN Women NC Australia and support this year’s theme. We are deeply committed to building a better awareness amongst our employees, consumers and the broader market of the important work that the UN Women’s committee delivers. We hope that our contribution and message enables women to be empowered through the UN Women’s projects across the globe.”
Janelle Weissman, Executive Director of UN Women NC Australia, says “We are thrilled to have the wonderful support of Esprit for the 5th year running. The scarf is more than just a fashion statement; it is also a symbol of our passion for women’s empowerment and gender equality.”
This year’s theme for International Women’s Day is ‘Empower a woman, empower a nation’. We know that when you empower a woman, you unlock opportunities not just for one woman, but for her children, for her family, whole communities – and entire nations. Purchasing a signature scarf is a tangible way to show support for women’s empowerment around the world, now and into the future.
