What do you get when you put Muslim women, Christian women, and 31 days of dresses together?
You get a group of fashionable ladies who are deeply committed to seeing justice served, dignity restored, and oppression eradicated in the world!
We are a group of Muslim and Christian women participating in Dressember, a campaign where people wear dresses every day of December to increase awareness of human trafficking and gender violence.
On a global scale, millions of women suffer from verbal, physical, and sexual abuse and cannot break the cycle. In every part of the world on every morning, women are waking up in fear of the day to come. As Muslims and Christians, we believe in everyday advocacy, and we believe that our collaboration can serve as a model for peace-building worldwide.
