Check out this informative article about the history behind t-shirts. Awarity strives to use shirts that are ethically-made and purchased fair-trade. We are excited about transitioning to shirts that are Canadian-made! Although they may cost a little more, it is for the better good of others AND it sets the bar high for other clothing companies!

I decided to start a blog for Awarity to help provide more information about human trafficking (modern day slavery) to help bring awareness to this ever-growing crime. The first step to abolishing such crimes is awareness! As well, I will be posting updates about upcoming events and new t-shirt designs. Happy learning and I look forward to standing with you in the fight against human trafficking :)
