Each Spring, Sheer partners with corperates and local companies to collect and donate gently used bras to non-profit organizations across Asia who support and aid underprivileged women in need. The recipients of the donations are victims of sex trafficking, crisis pregnancies, refugee status or poverty. Since 2013, Sheer has collected and donated over 10,000 bras and counting.
“Bras are actually a REAL GAP for women in the camp.
They are an item that is often asked for by refugees
women. This would be an opportunity to make a
difference for them.”
–International Rescue Committee(IRC)
WHY BRAS?
Bras are a luxury that many underprivileged women cannot afford. They are the least donated clothing item, yet most needed, for women to gain social acceptance andempower themselves with self-dignity. In many impoverished areas, wearing a bra can be what SAVES A WOMAN from abuse as it symbolizes respect and status.
HOW ARE THE BRAS COLLECTED?
Over the past years, we have worked with numerous partners to raise funds and set up collection points all over Hong Kong to collect gently used bras from the public.
