#LiveRed


Pura Vida is excited to announce the launch of the #LiveRed campaign! During the month of February $1 will be donated to the Red Thread Movement for every RED LIPSTICK selfie. Tag us and use the hashtag #LiveRed,

Remember, RED isn't just a color, it's a state of mind.

Our #LiveRed Campaign is encouraging women to be BOLD in their Red Lipstick to benefit the Red Thread Movement. 

The Red Thread Movement is an Eternal Threads partnership with K.I Nepal to combat human trafficking and modern-day slavery. Their mission is divided into three parts:
  •   Provides Fair Trade wages for rescued girls
  •  Additional funds support border units and safe houses.
  • Generates awareness of the global human rights crimes of human trafficking, forced labor and sexual slavery.
The Red Thread Company sells $3 handmade bracelets crafted by girls in Nepal rescued from human trafficking. Sex trafficking is often allowed to continue without consequences and is gaining momentum worldwide. The Napal/Indian border claims nearly 12,000 victims annually. Because of the low status, insufficient education, and poverty, the girls are at greater risk of being trafficked in Nepal.



The Red Thread Movement focuses on three areas of impact to help these girls avoid human trafficking:
  •  work to create employment for at-risk-girls
  • Send proceeds to support anti-trafficking work
  • Against sex trafficking all over the world
As people wear the Red Thread bracelets all over the world, they are spreading awareness to others and showing their support against modern slavery. Pura Vida is about empowering women and is joining The Red Thread Movement in their fight against modern slavery.

Pura Vida has the chance to join in to help prevent thousands of girls from being abducted and abused and we hope you will join with us to take part in our campaign.

How to be apart of this campaign:
  •  Get some Red lipstick
  • Put the lipstick on your lips
  • Take a picture of yourself with the Red lipstick
  •  Send it our way 
  • Don’t forget to #LifeRed


Every girl has a dream. Every girl has a story. We invite you to join in our campaign to help fight for those dreams of every girl involved in human trafficking and modern-slavery.
