Human trafficking is one of the most pressing global health, human rights and equality issues facing the world today.

Because of this, many organizations and brands have stepped up to do their part to help end human trafficking by supporting victims through educational and job training programs. And by supporting these companies, you end up making a difference too.

If you’re looking to take your first steps to purchasing with a purpose, you can start by shopping these six brands.

REBBL donates 2.5 percent of their revenue to Not For Sale, a global movement dedicated to ending human trafficking. Not For Sale partners with local experts, community leaders and business people to understand what causes slavery in a region. They then provide food, shelter, education and healthcare to those affected by modern slavery.

If you want to do more than just buy REBBL, you can also donate directly to Not For Sale.
