Fashion For a Cause

Breaking Heels has created an adjustable height shoe in order to combat sexual violence and commercial sexual exploitation against women. With Breaking Heels, it’s now possible to be fashionable with none of the pain. Despite enjoying the comfort and freedom of choice, many women often endure the discomfort of wearing high heel shoes. Now, this freedom of choice can go one step further—with Breaking Heels, women can enjoy the fashion of high heel shoes with the comfort of flats. This is because there is now a high heel shoe that can transform into a flat almost instantaneously. Not only that, women can proudly wear these shoes knowing that their purchase has contributed to a worthy cause.

At the same time, many women are forced into enduring the pain of human trafficking and prostitution, far from having any freedom of choice. Sexual assault, violence, and exploitation of women are real issues that need to be addressed. Breaking Heels imagines a future free of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. What better way to combat issues concerning women than with women’s fashion? For every pair of adjustable heels sold, a portion of the proceeds will go into scholarship opportunities for survivors of abuse and programs meant to combat human trafficking and sexual exploitation.

The team behind Breaking Heels is used to helping others. Now, Breaking Heels needs your help. By raising $25,000, the company will be able to fund and patent its idea and create the injection molds for the shoes to make this fashion revolution a reality for all women. Not only is this company aware of women’s fashion needs, it is also dedicated to solving some of the most critical issues that impact women today. The Breaking Heels team has worked so hard during this campaign to raise over $6,000 towards its goal. Now, Breaking Heels needs your helping hand to push towards its tipping point goal. You can help make a difference and be an advocate for women all over the world by pledging to this cause and sharing it with your social networks. Let’s break some heels against human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation!
