Better Way Designs, a member of the Fair Trade Federation, seeks to partner with organizations that are working to end sex trafficking. Through the import and sale of quality, fair-trade products made by these partner organizations, BWD gives them access to the North American market they would not otherwise have. This enables these organizations to provide marginalized individuals in their communities with the opportunity to earn a living wage, and to provide those people real, meaningful, and permanent employment. It is a dignified way out of the trap of sex trafficking many of them have been rescued from, or could otherwise fall into. Better Way Designs is focused on working to end human trafficking through providing economic opportunities to individuals in third world countries. They believe that building a business relationship with their partner organizations in a long-term, sustainable way is the best avenue for fighting this issue around the world. They use capitalism and business to provide dignity to all people, created equal, as the answer to the problem of poverty and human trafficking.
