Dressember

Hello friends!

It has been more than a year, but I want to continue blogging. There are a lot of new things brewing and I want to document them through this blog. Hopefully I can develop this habit, and this will catch on.

One thing that I will be participating in is Dressember 2014. It is a fashion challenge to wear a dress every day during the month of December.

Here is a short video about Dressember. 

“Dressember uses fashion to advocate for women who've been exploited for their femininity. As women take on the creative challenge of wearing a dress for the 31 days of December, they are advocating for the inherent dignity of all women.” (www.dressemberfoundation.org)

It will be a fun challenge for a purpose bringing awareness for women’s rights and celebrating beauty in all people. Dressember promotes the work of International Justice Mission.

International Justice Mission is a wonderful organization that fights injustices towards the poor in developing countries. Headquartered in Washington DC, they work in more than 20 different communities in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

The poor constantly live under the threat of everyday violence. They are exploited and trafficked and have limited protection under their local laws. IJM works to transform justice systems to prove that justice for the poor is possible.

International Justice Mission is an organization that is near and dear to my heart, and is doing great things.

I would encourage you to check out International Justice Mission at www.ijm.org  

I will keep you posted. :)

Blessings.
