About Us
Pinay Collection is a feminist social justice enterprise based in Canada and the Philippines. Using art and creative merchandise, our mission is to harness the power of Filipino words and reclaim those that have been weaponized against our identities. Beyond our physical products, Pinay Collection aims to build and strengthen international solidarity with Filipino and global movements by actively providing material support, mobilizing in response to people's struggles, and fostering educational discussions that directly challenge and dismantle oppressive systems.
15% to 100% of every purchase goes to a Filipino community organization
As a social enterprise dedicated to reclaiming the Pinay identity, we firmly believe that connecting with our Filipino roots is not possible without understanding the struggles of the Filipino people in the homeland. Below, you'll find details of our community partnerships in the Philippines and ways to further support these movements.

Bahaghari is the national alliance of LGBTQIA+ advocates, organizations, and formations in the Philippines.
BAHAGHARI was founded on the first death anniversary of Jennifer Laude, and has a near-decade track record of pursuing campaigns for equality. It has co-drafted anti-discrimination bills and co-organized Pride Marches nationwide, to name a few. It has even engaged with international human rights initiatives, such as the UN Universal Periodic Review, to highlight the situation of LGBTQ+ Filipinos.
FOSFO is an international campaign, under GABRIELA, against the political persecution and repression of women activists and human rights defenders in the Philippines.
The FOSFO campaign was relaunched in 2022 after successive arrests of GABRIELA leaders. Currently, over a hundred women are political prisoners in the Philippines, with most of them coming from the peasant class. These are the women, like many others, who despite the limitations imposed by society on them, are capable of fighting for their rights and against tyranny.
Philippine Resource Centre for Inclusive Development
Inklusibo or the Philippine Resource Center for Inclusive Development is a non-profit organization supporting the informal sector in asserting livable cities and an inclusive future. They are a team of development workers, researchers, and community organizers working with urban poor communities and informal workers’ associations to amplify their demands by gearing them with knowledge and capacity.
PISTON aims to promote and advance the basic demands of Filipino transport workers for decent and stable work, livable income, freedom of association, and all their economic and democratic rights. They have been the leading organization advocating for the #NoToJeepneyPhaseOut campaign and against the PUV Modernization program in the Philippines. They also unite and participate in advancing the demands and struggles of the rest of the working class, peasants, and other fellow poor, oppressed, and exploited by the ruling classes in the Philippines.
