In honour of International Women’s Day, Michael Hill has continued its partnership with global not-for-profit organisation, Dress for Success whose mission is to empower women within the workforce and everyday life.
Pearl Stud Earrings are a timeless fashion staple, and from 1 March 2022, for every purchase of these cultured freshwater pearl stud earrings for just $25, Michael Hill will donate $15 to Dress for Success in the country of purchase (Australia, New Zealand, or Canada).
Supporting women is an integral part of the Michael Hill brand. Approximately 84% of its global workforce are female and 43% of its executive leadership team are female. Women are a critical part of any community and therefore are a core part of ongoing philanthropic initiatives at Michael Hill. The brand is committed to continue supporting programs that improve the lives of the women in the communities it operates in and continuing the partnership with Dress for Success was an easy decision.
“Dress for Success does invaluable work, giving women around the world the tools, confidence and inspiration to really thrive; often overcoming social inequalities or challenging circumstances. We are truly proud to further our partnership with Dress for Success this year, contributing to changing more lives for the better. When you empower women, you improve the world.” – Daniel Bracken, CEO, Michael Hill.
Dress for Success helps to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire, and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. It is about much more than simply providing women with a new outfit, it is part of a global movement for change and since its operation began in 1997, there are now affiliates in 144 cities across 22 countries who have helped more than 1.2 million women work towards self-sufficiency.
“At Dress for Success, we economically empower women across the globe. The past two years have been immensely challenging for our organisation, and the women we serve. By standing together with partners like Michael Hill, we are continuing to help women break the cycle of poverty and obtain safer and better futures. Our vision is a world where women do not live in poverty; are treated with dignity and respect; and are strengthening their families and shaping their communities. Thank you to Michael Hill, for its commitment to making this vision a reality, we could not be more grateful.” – Wendy Longwood, COO, Dress for Success Worldwide.
The Michael Hill Stud Earrings with a donation going to Dress for Success are available from 1 March in stores across Australia, New Zealand and Canada as well as online via www.michaelhill.com.au.
