From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Luxury label Chloé has announced a three-year partnership with Unicef in aid of gender equality.
On Friday, the French fashion house revealed it had partnered with the United Nations Children’s Fund to help finance programmes that support girls in education.
As part of the partnership, the brand will sell paraphernalia such as T-shirts, necklaces and bracelets in order to raise money for Unicef programmes that provide young girls and women with digital and technology skills.
Profits will be distributed to programmes in countries including Senegal, Morocco and Bolivia.
“Contributing to girls’ education will give them more chances to fulfil their dreams,” said Geoffroy de la Bourdonnaye, chief executive officer of Chloé.
A marketing campaign dedicated to Chloé and Unicef’s partnership will be launched next year on Sunday 8 March.
The launch of the campaign will coincide with International Women’s Day, which takes place on that date every year.
All proceeds from sale of the items in the special collection will be donated to the Unicef fund.
Chloé is also due to announce three female ambassadors for the campaign.
Last month, Ellie Goulding wore a bespoke Victorian-inspired Chloé gown for her wedding to art dealer Caspar Jopling.
Goulding’s bridesmaids also wore bespoke creations by Chloé, donning matching pale blue silk cadi dresses, which were embroidered with an organza braid.
Earlier this year, French fashion label Roland Mouret announced a campaign in support of The Circle, a non-governmental organisation founded by Annie Lennox in support of gender equality.
The brand created a T-shirt, embossed with the slogan "Your Lies Are Not My Dreams", with all profits being donated to Circle initiatives across the globe.
In May, Gucci made a feminist, pro-choice statement at its Cruise 2020 show amid the introduction of several anti-abortion laws in the United States.
The fashion brand presented a collection that featured a jacket adorned with the words: "My body, my choice", and a gown embroidered with a depiction of the female reproductive system.
