We're getting closer to Christmas and have a range of charitable gift cards in store! Ranging from helping to create stronger communities, women equality and climate justice. Did you know 1 in 3 women and girls worldwide experience abuse or violence within their life. Additionally, 44% of lesbians and 61% of bisexual women experience rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner, compared to 35% of heterosexual women. There are also 153 countries which have laws that discriminate against women and where husbands can legally prevent their wives from working. Prior to the pandemic 1 in 10 women who are part of the LGBTQ+ are unemployed due to refusal of work.
It is a struggle for 2.2 billion people as they don't have access to clean water as well as 2.3 billion not having access to basic sanitation services, such as toilets or latrines. In addition to this, each day over 800 children are dying due to dirty water. Today 258 million children – 1 out of every 5 – will not be allowed to school.
Due to the climate getting worse, 821 million people around the world face chronic food deprivation. The World Food Program estimates that giving women farmers more resources could reduce the number of hungry people in the world by 100-150 million. In 2017, more than 20 million individuals were on the brink of starvation and in need of humanitarian assistance in East Africa.
Purchasing a gift card not only is a unique gift to a friend and family member - it changes lives worldwide. You can help fight poverty, improve equality, improve climate change and build a better world!
