Fashion:
The This is what a feminist looks like shirt seen is the photo series was sold to raise money for the Fawcett Society, Britain's largest women's advocacy group. The Fawcett Society campaigns for women's rights and gender equality. The shirts were originally sold by fashion retailer, Whistles, but was quickly removed due to unethical manufacturing practices. You can still purchase items directly from the Fawcett Society with the This is what a feminist looks like slogan with profits supporting the charity.
