Cogs of Justice Necklace
Stainless steel pendant on 45cm chain.
Today, Fan’s scissors click with confidence behind a hair salon chair. But just a few years ago, she sat in a brothel on “Justice Street’ silently willing the minutes to tick by faster.
When Eden Outreach met Fan, she had been forced to drop out of school. Lacking job prospects, she followed a boyfriend who promised a life of love and luxury… only to manipulate her into prostitution. Under watchful eyes, they gave her a Christmas gift and their phone number. She soon called, inspired by the opportunity to make jewellery.
At Eden, Fan healed in therapy, trained rescued women in making jewellery just like this piece, and trained as a hairstylist. The cogs of justice have ground to a halt on Justice Street. But as their Outreach team continues to visit this dark area, each step we take is a small cog moving toward changing a broken system.
When someone like Fan starts a new life, the gears turn and the clock hands tick toward a time when justice will prevail.
Eden hold to a vision of a world where no one is bought or sold. Each Eden piece is inspired by the true story of a courageous woman and handmade by rescued women.
Fair Trade is more than just trading:
It is a vision of business and trade that put people and planet before profit
It fights poverty, climate change, gender inequality and injustice
Is a proof of concept that showcases the enterprise models of the new economy
