Monki Support Plan International’s Because I am a Girl

Monki joins forces with Plan International, supporting their global campaign Because I am a Girl. Starting 4^th September 2014, RM2 for every tote bag sold at Monki will go to Plan’s work for all girls’ rights to an education. Tote bags are a Monki tradition; the Scandinavian fashion brand is well known for offering one of a kind print or slogan bags, making the tote the natural choice to spearhead this collaboration.

Targeting women’s education in the world’s poorest countries, Because I am a Girl is a global campaign based on the idea that if you change the future of a single girl, you can change the future of her entire community. The project aims high: at least nine years of education for all girls in the world.

Globally, 1 in 5 adolescent girls around the world is denied an education by the daily realities of poverty, violence and discrimination. We know that one of the most powerful measures we have against poverty is helping girls go to school.

With more than 85 shops in nine European countries, Japan, China and Malaysia, and an online store that delivers to 18 European countries, Monki has grown steadily since it was founded in 2006. Monki is owned by H&M.
