Gender equality/equity

71% of trafficking victims around the world are women and girls. Approximately 80% of garment workers are women.

AIM's Employment Centre provided 94 women with safe, secure employment last year. Pure Dreamwear and its partner organisations make it their mission to empower women everywhere.

Disability equality/equity

The UN’s disability inclusion strategy aims to “ensure that they (people living with disability) are valued and their dignity and rights are respected and that, in the workplace, they find the workplace an enabling environment in which to fully and effectively participate on an equal basis with others.”

Our partner sewing centres go beyond industry standards to ensure that work environments are both equitable and free from any discrimination.

Maison Chance’s Take Wing Centre empowers people living with disability to choose and learn skills that enable them to “fly with their own wings” through independent employment. They also have the option to continue working with Maison Chance.

The building and its facilities are adaptable and accessible to people living with disability. Their centre currently caters for sewing, painting, stone carving, and IT. Additional benefits include physiotherapy, aqua-therapy, medical operations, and other rehabilitation resources.
