About Us

Every 3 seconds a girl, some as young as 7 years old, becomes a child bride. Robbed of their choice and voice child brides often face a bleak future, but together we can change that.

Our shoes are handmade in Zimbabwe by women who survived child marriage and over 50% of profits are invested in at risk girls' education. By employing, educating and empowering child marriage survivors, Rated 18 Shoes aims to provide a platform that helps survivors take back their power. 

Being an ethical brand that brings about positive social change isn't just something we do on the side - it's the reason we exist, it's what drives us, and it's who we are.
