MANILA, Philippines—Fashion brand Monki collaborates with Plan International’s gender equality campaign #GirlsGetEqual by presenting limited edition sweatshirts highlighting and raising awareness on gender equality, with proceeds going to in support for the campaign.
Monki encourages everyone to speak their minds, not be afraid to challenge gender stereotypes and never apologize for being themselves.

That’s why Monki and Plan International have created four limited edition sweaters including statements such as “If we don’t speak up, who will?” and “My body isn’t political”.
20% of proceeds will go towards Plan International’s #GirlsGetEqual campaign; demanding power, freedom and representation for girls and young women globally.

“As a purpose-driven brand, Monki wants to empower women to empower the world. Together with our partner, Plan International, and our strong community, we are proud to continue the important dialogue of gender equality this International Women’s Day – and every day,” says Jennie Dahlin Hanson, Managing Director at Monki.
Along with Plan International, Monki will share a series of facts and tips across social media channels, to guide the community on how to discuss the topic of gender equality, feeling safe in questioning gender biases and how to ensure a secure online platform in having these dialogues. The partnership aims to educate that gender equality is about acknowledging our differences, understanding our privileges, and working together to fast forward gender equality.

Monki’s key focus is to fast forward the United Nations Sustainability Development Goal 5 for gender equality. While the UN says, “the global gender gap will not close for another 100 years,” Monki says, “we won’t wait!”

Monki launched an empowering film on March 8 posing the question: how will we reach gender equality without showing up, standing up and speaking up – together?
The sweaters are now available in-store and online.
