SANA Boutique

At The SANA Boutique, we are committed to supporting Black femme survivors of gender-based violence as they rebuild their lives. Our boutique offers a unique, welcoming environment where survivors can find high-quality clothing and essentials — all at no cost. We believe in the power of clothing to restore dignity, boost self-confidence, and open doors to new opportunities.

This initiative aims to help survivors rebuild their lives with dignity, confidence, and renewed hope. By addressing immediate material needs, we aim to support survivors in reclaiming their independence, boosting self-esteem, and aiding their journey toward self-sufficiency.

What We Offer

The SANA Boutique provides more than just clothing. We believe that everyone deserves a fresh start. That’s why our boutique offers only brand-new clothing, thoughtfully curated to provide survivors with high-quality attire for various occasions. Each piece of clothing is chosen to help survivors feel confident and supported as they take steps toward a new chapter. Here’s what our boutique provides:

Curated Clothing and Accessories

From professional attire to casual wear, we offer a selection of stylish clothing for various occasions. We understand the importance of feeling confident in how you present yourself, and we want every survivor to leave our boutique feeling empowered.

Personal Care Essentials

Our boutique also offers free personal care kits with toiletries, skincare products, and other essentials that help survivors feel ready to face the world.

Community and Resources

Alongside clothing, survivors can access information on local support resources, including counselling, job training, housing and immigration assistance, and more. We work closely with partner organisations to connect survivors with services that help them achieve self-sufficiency and lasting independence.

Our boutique is open to Black femme survivors of gender-based violence. To ensure privacy and personalised support, survivors can book a set time to visit our boutique online. This allows each client the chance to shop in a comfortable, welcoming environment at their own pace.
