This year for International Women's Day, Boticca is celebrating with a special collaboration with Women for Women International, an organization that helps women in war-torn countries develop the skills they need to provide for themselves and their families. Five of Boticca's independent designers created exclusive pieces to raise money for this wonderful cause- all profits will go straight to Women for Women. Each designer has created an item that reflects the strength and character of women in the world today. View the special collection below, and help support sisters around the world!

Nooria joined Women for Women's program against her husband's wishes. He needs constant care as a result of injuries he sustained during the Afghan civil war and thanks to the program, Nooria is making a dent in his medical bills.

Ramize Rexhepi is from Kosovo. She enrolled in the program to learn about growing her own food, but is now selling her food at the market. When she first began taking her food to the local market, her family laughed, saying they couldn't imagine a woman selling anything at the market. Now she is a successful businesswoman, looking to join with a group of women to consolidate their wares and unify production.
