Human Trafficking Awareness
As we distribute dresses to girls in need we want to warn them and their parents/guardians of the traps of human trafficking and like to include this "awareness" during our time of dressing girls. Please take a printable copy with you when you are distributing dresses and look for and/or ask the international or national partner to give you a few minutes to share this information or ask them to share it.
