Stop Traffick with Fashion this Wednesday

Tomorrow's Stop Traffick with Fashion event is going to be a showstopper. And yours truly will be one of the photogs for the night capturing every single moment on camera.

So join me and a few hundred other fab DCers as we fight to stop child trafficking with fashion. You're in for a treat with Aidah Fontenot's newest hotness walking down the runway. I actually just scooped up a hot wrap dress with hoodie made by her just this past weekend.

Join News Channel 8's Beverly Kirk, and Washington area business leaders as they gather to raise awareness for and support of victims of local child trafficking, in the DC/MD and VA area. Local designers will showcase their latest collections with the help of local celebrity models, who represent top-tier companies in the area. This an occasion you won't want to miss!

Charity Network Inc. is a humanitarian initiative that works to prevent the trafficking of children. Child trafficking preys upon the most innocent and the most vulnerable parts of our society, and forces these children into sexual, domestic, sweatshop or field labor. Believing that the life of a child today is the life of the world tomorrow, Charity Network Inc is working to impact larger societal problems through providing support and education to trafficked and at-risk children and their families. Because globalization has brought child trafficking to every corner of the globe, these efforts will be applied both to source countries, which are largely in the developing world, and to receiving countries.

These anti-trafficking measures will provide a holistic intervention in the circumstances that often lead to child trafficking. The first area of emphasis will be prevention through education. Trafficking often begins when a child’s parents are promised education or work opportunities for their son or daughter, and are thus mislead into sending their child to live with a friend, relative, or stranger. By educating parents about the perils of these arrangements, and by teaching them how to avoid such traps, we will be affecting a primary source of child trafficking.
