1. Glass jewelry to halt domestic violence
Fifteen Kenyan women, each of which survived rape and sexual assault, originally founded the Umoja Village as a safe haven from domestic violence. The village and its women's and children's services are now entirely supported by locally-produced wares, like this beautiful ceremonial glass-beaded necklace. (umojawomen.net, $45)
2. Necklaces to promote rehabilitation
Human trafficking is a $32 billion international illicit industry, and thankfully, concerned citizens and politicians are beginning to support its prevention. But what happens to women and children who have already escaped the industry? The Brave Collection — featuring bracelets and necklaces — provides sustainable artisan vocation training to Cambodian survivors, and 10 percent of sales directly fight future trafficking. (thebravecollection.com, $75)
3. Earrings to stop poverty
Buy the Change is a U.S. company that curates sustainable and fair-trade fashion accessories, with the goal of lifting women from developing nations out of poverty. They feature a number of products, but we especially love these Tree of Life earrings because of the redemption they represent — artists formed the earrings from recycled bombshells. (buythechangeusa.org, $40)
4. Pashminas to support war-torn women
Bajalia supports international artists from war-torn countries, including the women artists of these beautiful pashminas from Afghanistan. All Bajalia products are fair-trade, and provide vocation to people who might not otherwise have the opportunity. (bajalia.com, $96)
5. Artwork for education
Of course, fashion doesn't stop at accessories. Shutter to Think is a non-profit that sells donated fashion, home and cultural photography from famous artists, and then siphons all proceeds to charities that educate girls around the world. You can even pick a charity of your choice. (shuttertothink.org, prices vary)
6. Pajamas to fight human trafficking
The International Princess Project provides vocational training to women who exit the sex trade by teaching them how to sew. Every pair of pajamas you purchase, like these cute capris, supports the education, housing and medical care for a human trafficking victim who is trying to make a new life for herself and her children. (shop.intlprincess.org, $39)
7. Jewels for people in need
Check out Jewels for Hope for a variety of necklaces, bracelets and earrings that support causes right here in the U.S. Ten percent of the company's profits return to a charity of your choice, like the American Cancer Society, the National MS Society and even Labs 4 Rescue. We especially like this spiky turquoise and gold number. (jewelsforhope.net, $35)
8. Leather Tote for business development
