[Grace act.] vol.4 Collaboration with I.Lady to create charity shorts

Hello everyone.
I'm NAO, a designer.

At Nao Lingerie, we are conducting our own social contribution activities, which we call "Grace act." Currently, we are donating underwear to children in foster care.
I would like to talk about why I am involved in this kind of activity, from my origins to the present.

--------------------

VOL.4

I LADY. × NAO LINGERIE We have produced shorts in collaboration with "I LADY.", a project by the international cooperation NGO Joyful Heart.

------------------------------------------------------

▼What is "I LADY."?

I LADY. is a project by the international cooperation NGO Joyful Heart in Japan (JOICFP) to teach people the "life skills" they can gain by raising awareness of sexual and reproductive health and rights. The project aims to empower women around the world by encouraging each individual to confront their own sexuality and body and make choices that are true to themselves, starting with Japan and spreading the "I LADY . way of life." One of the projects, the Charity Pinky Ring ( https://joicfp.shop/ ), celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2021.

The collaborative shorts this time are "Love Shorts (3 colors)" that are linked to the 10th anniversary pinky ring.

------------------------------------------------------

We resonated with ILADY.'s message of "enabling each individual to face their own sexuality and body and make choices that are true to themselves," and decided to collaborate with them in the hope of delivering this message to all women around the world.

By having women wear the shorts that cover the uterus, one of the symbols of femininity, which we created together with peer activists, we hope to give them the feeling and experience of taking care of themselves.

▼Introduction of products for donation

Nao Lingerie has been donating underwear to girls in orphanages in Japan for some time. Children in these facilities, which are run with government subsidies and donations, have limited financial means and can only afford to spend so little on underwear. For the first time, we have planned an event so that everyone can participate in Nao Lingerie's activities, as it is difficult to know where to go or what is needed, even if you want to support children in orphanages. The item of clothing you choose will be delivered directly to a girl in an orphanage.
