At Monsoon, supporting women lies at the very heart of everything we do – not only through the collections we design but through the causes we stand by. That’s why, through the Monsoon Accessorize Trust, we are proud to support initiatives that uplift and empower women globally, especially in places where support is needed most.
Standing Strong with Turquoise Mountain
In Afghanistan, the lives of women and girls have faced unprecedented challenges in recent years. Since 2021, the Taliban has imposed severe restrictions on their freedoms – limiting access to education, employment, and public life. Despite this, remarkable resilience continues to shine through.
Through our long-standing partnership with Turquoise Mountain, we have helped to bring hope to women in Bamiyan Province, Afghanistan. In 2023, with USAID funding halted, we knew we had to had to take action. We launched a dedicated campaign around International Women’s Day to raise awareness – and vital funds – to ensure this important work could continue.
Education, Empowerment, and Artistry
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we raised £31,500, a sum that is transforming lives.
This funding supports a local school run by Turquoise Mountain, where women artisans are able to continue weaving beautiful, traditional carpets – a skill passed down through generations – while their children attend school in a safe and supportive environment
These carpets are not only works of art but symbols of independence, resilience, and heritage. In a climate where opportunities are limited, the ability to create and earn a living empowers these women to reclaim control over their lives and futures.
Why It Matters
When women thrive, communities thrive. Our partnership with Turquoise Mountain exemplifies how creativity and compassion can come together to spark real change – even in the most difficult of circumstances.
By supporting women artisans and ensuring children can still access education, we are helping to preserve tradition, protect futures, and promote dignity.
