- People are reported to be trafficked from 127 countries and exploited from 137 countries, impacting every continent and every type of economy.

- 40 MILLION people are victims of modern slavery. This includes 4.8 million persons in forced sexual exploitation, 15 million persons in forced marriage, and 20.2 million persons in forced labor.

- Human Trafficking has been reported in ALL 50 states.

We NEED change. And so, after hearing from Cassidy about an incredible organization called Dressember that is fighting human trafficking, I jumped onto the opportunity to participate. This organization asks people to wear a dress every day as a “…uniform, the flag of our movement. Dressember is an opportunity to reclaim and reappropriate the dress as a symbol of freedom and power; a flag for the inherent dignity of all people.”

After a successful year last year, Teachers Against Trafficking is back and ready to top last year with an extra $500! We are already off to a great start. Please follow links to our donation page. Watch videos below to see more of what Dressember is all about and then donate to my mom and I's campaign. Thank you!

DONATE

I will be wearing a tie/bow tie, and my mother (along with her fellow teachers) will be wearing a dress during December in order to raise awareness of the anti-human trafficking work Dressember is doing and to be a small part of a huge problem of modern slavery.

Donations to Dressember go toward the rescue and restoration of people in slavery across the world.

Dressember

Join the movement at www.dressemberfoundation.org Dressember uses fashion to advocate for women who've been exploited for their femininity. As women take on the creative challenge of wearing a dress for the 31 days of December, they are advocating for the inherent dignity of all women. Dressember exists to inspire and empower a global community of like-minded women who are locking arms to address one of the greatest injustices of our time. In 2013, Dressember participants in 32 countries collectively raised over $165,000 to support the work of International Justice Mission. In 2014, the Dressember campaign will again support the work of IJM (www.ijm.org) to rescue and restore victims of trafficking and violent oppression.
