What does Shoe Revolt do?
Shoe Revolt is a for-profit company aiming to stamp out human trafficking by creating a social enterprise to produce a steady revenue stream through the sale of new and used donated shoes. All net profit will be dedicated to fighting human trafficking, with 50 percent going to charitable partner GEMS (Girls Educational and Mentoring Services), and the other 50 percent going to survivor educational scholarships and public advocacy.
ShoeRevolt.com is an online shoe boutique that raises awareness of, inspires and empowers women to donate high-end shoes to eradicate human trafficking in the United States with every donated shoe sold. Celebrities including Sarah Jessica Parker, Emily West and Zöe Bell have donated shoes from their collections, as have executives, lawyers, politicians and stay-at-home moms.
How are they different?
It’s a for-profit social enterprise in which 100% of the profits go toward fighting sex trafficking.
Why could Shoe Revolt be BIG?
The power is from crowdsourcing, involving women from celebrities to ordinary women to fight this problem that nobody wants to talk about or believes exists in the U.S.
How they plan to make money:
Selling donated new and gently used designer shoes.
