Our Social Cause

Empowering Women Through Fashion

Women Empowerment and the Creative Hub at Cabo Verde Fashion Week, our mission extends beyond showcasing the latest fashion trends; it is deeply rooted in empowering women and fostering social change.

Through our Creative Hub, we have established a comprehensive Women Empowerment Program that specifically addresses gender- based violence.

This program offers survivors and at-risk women the opportunity to rebuild their lives by providing them with skills in fashion design and entrepreneurship.

This initiative is a beacon of hope, transforming lives by giving women the tools they need to become economically independent and break the cycle of violence.
