What charity/cause is this badge for?

My wife and I saw the actor Benedict Cumberbatch recently. When we met him he was wearing the same charity awareness badge that he is wearing in this picture. Does anyone know what charity/cause it is for? If not, when/if I get to meet him again I will try and remember to ask.

Best answer: If you look at the pin, it says "The Body Shop" on it. The Body Shop has several causes that they back. My guess, based on the colors, is that this pin is for their crusade to stop HIV; some googling suggests that's accurate.
