The Sheen for She Difference

We eliminate social inequalities women face by removing financial barriers from grooming services, self-defense training, healing circles, and self-care workshops. Self-care is at the center of our work and we believe that when a woman puts herself first and makes efforts to improve her well-being, she can successfully change her life.
