Fashion Challenge Art Interests Community Support Talent Usa Lawyer Conversation Sex Work Sex trafficking

In 2005, Blythe Hill began hearing about the issue of sex trafficking. Despite her deep sense of urgency to help, she felt helpless. She wasn't a lawyer or a doctor or a social worker; her interests and talents were in fashion, trend analysis, and blogging. She didn't think she had much to offer to the fight, until four years later. In 2009, Blythe challenged herself to wear a dress every day of December (hence: Dressember) Every year, thousands of advocates around the world take on the creative challenge of wearing a dress or tie during the 31 days of December. The dress or tie serves as the conversation starter to educate your community about modern slavery. The organization believes #YouCanDoAnythingInADress, including raise millions of dollars to support the fight to end slavery.
