Stop Traffick Fashion is about changing lives. In the rush of the holiday season, take a minute to reflect on the stark, beautiful change in reality that took place this year for people around the world who were rescued from trafficking.

Last year, these words (derived directly from their stories) characterized their lives.

Then change came: They were rescued or worked for their freedom or were abandoned by their captors, left helpless and alone but with the freedom to start again.

In their time of vulnerability, help came along. A friend, a counselor, a family member, a judge. Freeset, Hagar, IJM, 31 Bits, Magdalene House, Made by Survivors, Nomi Network, Wonderfully Made. This time no one took advantage of their poverty, their lack of education, their weakness. This time they were given a chance at a new life.

And now this is who they are.

It’s been a good year.
