Lindsay: How YOU and SET Boutique help women workers and their children in developing countries

Lindsay Sullivan started SET Boutique in 2010. She has been a production manager for large retail corporations. When traveling on business to Southeast Asia, where a high percentage of women are trafficked she witnessed the crushing poverty and lack of new opportunities. In her spare time, she began volunteering with SAGE (Standing Against Global Exploitation) to learn more about the issues. She soon realized that she could use her knowledge of overseas sourcing, and her passion for ethical trade to help stop exploitation. This passion inspired the creation of SET Boutique, which stands for Support Ethical Trade.
