Earlier this year, I wrote about Nomi Network, one of the many great organizations working to fight human trafficking and sexual slavery.
Nomi's mission is to empower sex trafficking survivors to make products that will be sold in the mainstream market, thereby securing jobs for vulnerable women while delivering high quality products to consumers. Great idea, right?
Anyway, Team Nomi informs me that they have officially launched their website, where you can learn more about Nomi Network's approach to leveraging the marketplace to eradicate sex trafficking.
The website provides an interactive map of stores in New York City that currently sell fairly traded or slave-free merchandise. You can also explore opportunities to get involved with their efforts to end human trafficking.
Be part of the Network. Things are just getting started, but they'll be soon be announcing the release of their first product: Nomi's signature slogan tote bag, available for pre-sales on August 15. For more information, visit the new website here.
