Kafka Inc., which operates Angelite , will launch sex education and support activities for women both in Japan and overseas on the occasion of International Day of the Girl Child ( October 11th ), established by the United Nations in 2012 , in order to solve women's menstrual problems and realize a society in which everyone can live comfortably through Angelite, a sanitary spats developed by 75-year-old former fashion designer Noriko Komoriya.
About our efforts
Sex education and support activities for women
Angelite's vision is to "increase the number of women living active lives and create a society where everyone can thrive."
Our company has been operating an apparel OEM/ODM business in the Philippines since 2016, and has decided to tackle the social issues related to poverty and gender that we have encountered there. We will begin by promoting sex education and providing support, primarily in the Philippines.
Specifically, we will provide sex education at coxco Lab, a fashion skills training school in Manila, Philippines, which was established by the NPO DEAR ME in February 2023, and support the operation of the training school.
"coxco Lab" is a training school that provides sewing and design skills free of charge to young people and mothers in poor areas, and offers a program to help them find employment in sewing factories after graduation.
About the NPO DEAR ME
About "coxco Lab"
We empathize with this initiative and, as the first step in our collaboration with "coxco Lab," have commissioned "coxco Lab" to manufacture and sell original design gift wrapping pouches since May 2024.
As a second step, Angelite joined "coxco Labhood," a system in which donations are made to "coxco Lab" with each purchase of a product by attaching a sticker with a donation to "coxco Lab." By establishing a system that can further support women, the company will work with schools and companies around Japan to expand sex education and support activities.
