For over 10 years, ETHICGOODS has employed women who are survivors of human trafficking and exploitation. Originally founded by Maegan Hawley, ETHICGOODS is now co­-owned by four best friends on a mission to empower others who are becoming entrepreneurs and starting their journey on a new, hope­-filled path. Between the four owners, there are nine ETHIC kiddos. They are a huge part of the ETHICGOODS team and why we continue to fight for freedom. We want to help them see their potential to grow up and be world changers!

ETHICGOODS helps to create economic empowerment for women impacted by human trafficking and those at risk of exploitation. We partner with nonprofits primarily in South East Asia that provide holistic care (counseling, education, and healthcare), focus on strengthening the family unit, and demonstrate a community centered approach, so that these women can pave a new hope­ filled path for their families.

Each piece is handcrafted by the woman it helps employ. By wearing ETHICGOODS, you become a meaningful part of her story, and contribute to freedom for women around the world because all women deserve dignified employment.

We are firm believers that fashion can empower and it’s our dream and goal to increase the impact ETHICGOODS has on the women we work with and the world. ETHICGOODS is based in Washington, DC. We work with the artisans to design each line, and while we are designers by trade, our real mission is to create relationships and opportunities to help.
