Yes, a dress CAN change the world.⁣
⁣
If you’re new here, WELCOME! Here’s a little bit about who we are:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In 2005, our founder @blythehill learned about how human trafficking is more common than we may think. Happening in every city in the world, affecting more than 40 million men, women, and children. From massage parlors, to major sporting events, to truck stops to nail salons. With the realization of all of these overwhelming realities, a fire was lit inside of her. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In 2009, she challenged herself to wear a dress for all 31 days of December, seeking a creative outlet for herself to escape the repetitive routine of college. Before she knew it, Dressember grew and grew and she thought that maybe this fun style challenge could be more than just a style challenge. Maybe It could make a difference. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Not long after she started this style challenge, she teamed up with @ijm who wholeheartedly believed in the personal mission she had to end human trafficking! In 2013, Dressember was born becoming an official organization. Now, every year thousands of men and women from all over the world take on the challenge of wearing a dress or tie every day of December to fight modern slavery.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We are a community of over 90,000 international advocates and donors utilizing fashion and creativity to help end human trafficking. Since 2013, we have raised over $7.5 MILLION to fund anti-human trafficking projects all over the world. With the help of ALL advocates we just might be crazy enough to dismantle one of the greatest injustices of our time. ⁣💪🏽⁣
⁣⁣
Registration for the 2019 #Dressember style challenge campaign opens October 1st! ⁣
👇🏽Comment below some fun ways you plan on spreading the word this December!👇🏽⁣
