WAR Chest Boutique is a nonprofit boutique located in downtown Naperville. We are an arm of Women at Risk International and everything in our store is made by or sold in support of women rescued from human trafficking domestically as well as internationally. In addition to human trafficking, our programs provide healing and support for women affected by 14 risk issues ranging from poverty to domestic violence and more.
Since 2009, the One Light self-defense team has traveled to the poorest slums in Nairobi, Kenya, where girls face physical attacks EVERYDAY. Using simple self-defense techniques, girls and community leaders have been empowered physically, mentally, and emotionally.
