23 Gifts That Benefit Women's Causes

I don't think any of us are sad to bid farewell to 2016. At risk of stating the obvious, it's been a painful year for every marginalized member of society and has left feminists feeling sad, disappointed, and angry. We listened to Donald Trump use every sexist insult in the book, say that a woman should be punished for exercising her right to choose, and brag about groping women without their consent — and then watched as he was named president-elect on Nov. 8. We're rightfully concerned about the preservation of our most basic rights and many of us want to donate to important women's causes, but cash is often tight during the holiday season. Luckily, there are plenty of gifts that benefit women's causes — so you can buy unique, empowering presents for your loved ones and donate to charity.

The new administration is anti-choice, has a track record of fighting to defund Planned Parenthood, and will likely put an end to Obama and Biden's incredible push to prevent sexual assault on college campuses. Needless to say, there's no time like the present to support organizations like RAINN, Planned Parenthood, the National Organization for Women, and other causes that empower women and protect our rights.

These 23 gifts will be a joy to unwrap and the proceeds from your purchase will go to an amazing cause. What could be better?
