Social commitments:

There are many causes that Cityzen by Azin believes in. As such, we continue to empower communities through fashion. Here are some of the causes which we look to when empowering communities around the world:


Here's a more in-depth look at the various causes we support:

• ROCK THE VOTE
  

Empowering young people to exercise their rights and represent their interests by making their voice heard - voting. Rock the Vote continuously adapts to the changing landscapes of media, technology and culture to breakthrough and empower each new generation.

• MALALA FUND

"IF ONE GIRL WITH AN EDUCATION CAN CHANGE THE WORLD, WHAT CAN 130 MILLION GIRLS DO?" Malala Yousafzai

"Developing an innovative school/cooperative initiative to provide young girls with an education in combination with a women’s economic development program."

Cityzen is donating 30% of our sales throughout March 2020, from our entire collection of global scarves to WHO in their efforts to combat COVID-19.

This New York scarf was designed in support of women with breast cancer and for The AVON 39 Walk that takes place in NY City every year in October. The path of the two day walk is marked in two tones of pink. We were honored that model and actress Lara Wolf partnered with us for this campaign.

This scarf of Yellowstone National Park was designed in support of the Wolf Conservation Center, a non-profit environmental education organization dedicated towards educating and promoting wolf conservation and their relationship to the environment, “saving the planet Earth one wolf at a time.”
