CENTRO SANTA CATALINA

Independent women's sewing cooperative in Ciudad Juárez, MX.

This past spring, Junes is very excited to be partnered with an independent women's sewing cooperative, Centro Santa Catalina, in Ciudad Juárez to sew 50% of their production load. 

Started by the Dominican Sisters in 1996, Centro Santa Catalina is a safe haven for the spiritual, educational and economic empowerment of economically poor women and for the welfare of their families. It is  located in the southern part of Jaurez, right by the now covered up prominent city dump.

FEMICIDE

On Janean's visit to Juárez, she was struck by all the fliers of missing young women. She decided that Junes was to be committed to help stop, prevent and protect women from the violence and Femicide that has been troubling the region for decades. For each bag you purchase, a small percentage of the purchase price will be given to the Global Fund for Women which supports various organizations in Mexico and Juarez that protect and prevent Femicide and violence against women.
