Today, Fan’s scissors click with confidence behind a hair salon chair. But just a few years ago, she sat in a brothel on “Justice Street’ silently willing the minutes to tick by faster.

When Eden Outreach met Fan, she had been forced to drop out of school. Lacking job prospects, she followed a boyfriend who promised a life of love and luxury… only to manipulate her into prostitution. Under watchful eyes, we gave her a Christmas gift and our phone number. She soon called, inspired by the opportunity to make jewellery.

At Eden, Fan healed in therapy, trained rescued women in making jewellery just like this piece, and trained as a hairstylist. The cogs of justice have ground to a halt on Justice Street. But as our Outreach team continues to visit this dark area, each step we take is a small cog moving toward changing a broken system.

When someone like Fan starts a new life, the gears turn and the clock hands tick toward a time when justice will prevail. This bracelet features a map of the Justice Street district, with a 'broken clock', to symbolise the incomplete journey to justice. 

Stainless steel 0.7" pendants engraved with "Hope" in Burmese and English on sterling silver hooks. Earrings come gift boxed, with the story of the woman who inspired the piece. 

Against all odds, the photo of Haymar finally reunited with her family matched the painting she'd hung on Eden's Dream Wall months before. She was first separated from them when she traded rural life for a job in the city as a maid. Unsure about where to turn after escaping from her abusive boss, Haymar accepted the help of a young man...only to learn the 'shelter' he referred her to was a brothel. When Eden met her, Haymar had suffered eight years of traumatic and violent abuse. 

As her body healed at Eden, Haymar hopeful about her future. She began to dream of finding her lost family. These earrings engraved with 'Hope' in Burmese and English are inspired by Haymar's enduring hope.
